Dear fstokens,
I found the article you are referring to mentioned in the online
version of the Catholic Encyclopedia in an article on the Ritual of
Marriage:
"Certain it is, in any case, that in Spain and in some parts of France
thirteen pieces of money, known in French as the "Treizain", are still
blessed and given to the bride along with the ring. The ceremony was
duly observed at the marriage of King Alfonso of Spain, in 1906 (see
"The Messenger", 1906, 113-130)."
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09703b.htm
I then searched the rest of the Catholic Encyclopedia for similar
mentionings of that publication. And I was successful. The article on
the Encyclopedia itself says:
"On January 11, 1905, Charles G. Herbermann, Professor of Latin and
Librarian of the College of the City of New York, (...) and John J.
Wynne, S.J., Editor of The Messenger, held their first editorial
meeting at the office of The Messenger, in West Sixteenth Street, New
York."
http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/00001a.htm
By additional resarch, I found out that the full name of the
publication "The Messenger", whose editor John J. Wynne was, was "The
Messenger of the Sacred Heart", a monthly Catholic publication. The
Catholic Encyclopedia often refers to this publication simply as "The
Messenger", and there is no reason to believe that they meant a
different magazine in the Marriage Ritual article, since I found no
example that the Encyclopedia ever used "The Messenger" for referring
to a publication other than "The Messenger of the Sacred Heart".
