CUA Press is proud to announce the CUA Studies in Canon Law. In conjunction with the School of Canon Law of the Catholic University of America, we are making available, both digitally and in print, more than 400 canon law dissertations from the 1920s - 1960s, many of which have long been unavailable. These volumes are rich in historical content, yet remain relevant to canon lawyers today. Topics covered include such issues as abortion, excommunication, and infertility. Several studies are devoted to marriage and the annulment process; the acquiring and disposal of church property, including the union of parishes; the role and function of priests, vicars general, bishops, and cardinals; and juridical procedures within the church. For those who seek to understand current ecclesial practices in light of established canon law, these books will be an invaluable resource.

From a dusty Texas farm to the power corridors of Washington, D.C., Brooke Rollins has lived a life defined by faith, courage, and conviction. Her story is proof that leadership is not born in privilege but in purpose. Raised among horses, hard work, and heartland values, Brooke carried her roots into every room she entered from being the first female student body president at Texas A&M University to becoming U.S. Secretary of Agriculture and a national voice for reform. Through her journey, she championed criminal justice transformation, defended America's farmers, and reimagined the power of public service. "Brooke Rollins Story" is an inspiring portrait of perseverance and grace - a reminder that no dream is too distant for those who lead with faith and serve with humility. Her journey invites you to believe again - in freedom, in redemption, and in the strength of one determined life to change a nation.
