"A working knowledge of Latin is important for anyone who wishes to
study the nearly two thousand years of living tradition of the
Catholic Church. It is essential for those who wish to study
seriously the sacred sciences of philosophy, theology, and cannon
law. Father Leo Stelten, drawing upon his long experiences in
teaching Latin to students for the priesthood, has developed in his
"Dictionary of Ecclesiastical Latin" a most helpful tool both for
those who are beginning their study of the church's lingua materna,
as well as for those who are working to renew and improve their
knowledge of church Latin."
--Monsignor Raymond L. Burke, Supremum Signaturae Apostolicae
Tribunal, Vatican City, Rome
"For seminarians studying for the priesthood, the "Dictionary of
Ecclesiastical Latin" by Leo F. Stelten will be helpful for
examining Vatican documents in the original language, papal
encyclicals and allocutions, publications on church liturgy, and
Cannon Law volumes. This product of years of teaching, now updated,
will be a happy resource in chanceries as well. The format is easy
to follow and the vocabulary of some 17,000 words and phrases is
quite adequate."
--Reverend Joseph F. Downey, S. J., Editorial Director, Loyola
University Press, Chicago, Illinois
