um ya,ACLumsden you are incorrect about New Advent.it is a proper resource for pre-concillar church approved published online books. i wouldnt ever compare the New Advent site in general or the 'old' Catholic Encyclopedia specifically at all to Wikipedia. New Advent just took the ENTIRE 1912/1917 Church approved print version 1917 Catholic Encyclopedia and just published it online (along with old editions of the Summa and Church Fathers and Bible,)we have the exact same Catholic Encyclopedia in like 17? volumes up in our Seminary and its EXACTLY the same as the New Advent online version. PLus one cant add or change things on New Advent site as one can in Wikipedia.The same version and subsequent later ' new' editions were published by the Catholic University of America. New Advent has just unaltered online versions of older (passed the copyright) of classic catholic work,( thus, of course lacking post-conciliar documents and newer Code of Canon law contexts)some qoutes then may be outdated or changed since the Reign of Pius X however.).you can also see the 1913 version scanned on Google Books.
PAX ps so like you cant take documents form vatican.va for example,or scanned books?as trustworthy because its not a print version from the bookstore in your hand?/ (i agree one must be cautious and aware of online sources, and fact check though)
