  There have been more recent versions of the Catholic Encyclopedia since 
  these volumes published early in the 20th century.  Most notably, there is 
  the "New Catholic Encyclopedia" published in 1989 and prepared by the 
  editorial staff at the Catholic University of America.  There are also the 
  1976 and 1987 versions of "The Catholic Encyclopedia" edited by Robert C. 
  Broderick and "The Catholic Encyclopedia" edited by Peter Stravinskas and 
  published in 1991 by Our Sunday Visitor Publishing Division.
      Much has changed in the Catholic Church since the early 20th century, as 
  witness the effects of Vatican II.  These earlier volumes, now online thanks 
  to the initial efforts of the Knights of Columbus, are closer to a more 
  "traditional" or "conservative" aspect of Roman Catholicism and are 
  therefore more likely to be helpful to historical archaeologists and 
  historians trying to discern Catholic dogma and practices of the nineteenth 
  century and earlier.

  What do you mean by 'early edition"?  This is the current URL for the 
  Catholic Encyclopedia.  Please explain.
  Thanks,
