Hey Phatcatholic...You are so Awesome. Let me know if I can help in anyway...even if it means leaving you alone. I just really would like to help do something on this board. I am a strong supporter for Apologetics.

Pax et Agape per Maria, Andy

bro, those words are music to my ears. i have plenty for you to do. there are 4 or 5 entries still left to do. they include the following:

[b]--catholic prayer and devotion[/b]
[b]--history of the catholic church[/b]
----this would include timelines of events, controversial events in the history of the church (crusades, inquisition, protestant reformation are the 3 biggies), development of doctrine, role and results of church councils, significant schisms and heresies, and other topics relating to the history of the church
[b]--theology of the body[/b]
[b]--one or two entries[/b] i can't recall at this time (my notes aren't w/ me at the moment)

so, if u would like to work on any of those entries, feel free. what this basically entails is perusing (sp?) all the apologetic and other catholic websites that you are aware of that contain articles pertaining to the topic of the entry, and compiling a list of links to those articles. also, instead of providing a link to a website, i prefer to provide links to the articles from that website. i want this is a one-stop shop.

the easiest way for you to present your work to me will be to compile all the links on ur own (u could make a special folder in your "favorites" and put them all there, or make a word doc) and then make one post in this thread w/ all the links in it. then i can just copy that code and put it right into the reference section.

does all that make sense? i tend to make things more complicated then they actually are, so let me know if u have any questions or comments. thanks for ur help, and if u find that this is a little bit more then u bargained for, that is perfectly ok. i promise.

pax christi,
phatcatholic

wow this reference section is great!!! thank you phatcatholic ! i have a suggestion for the non Christian section.... Islam is missing:

www.christianislamicforum.org some great links but it seems to be down..

[luciana]

I know that Catholic Answers has a brand new cheap evangelization booklet on Islam. "Islam: A Catholic Perspective" that you could prob.use [url="http://shop.catholic.com/cgi-local/SoftCart.exe/online-store/scstore/p-CB274.html?L+scstore+gybb1747ff6ac96a+1114263162"]http://shop.catholic.com/cgi-local/SoftCar...c96a+1114263162[/url]
[quote]This new booklet provides a concise overview of Islam -- and evaluates their history and beliefs from a Christian point of view. Using a balanced approach, this booklet gives Islam credit for its good points, without papering over the negatives. Some of the topics covered include:    * What is Islam and how did it start?
    * What do Muslims believe?
    * How do Muslims practice their religion?
    * How does the Qur'an compare with the Bible?
Also included are some useful hints on sharing the Christian Gospel with your Muslim friends and acquaintances.[/quote]

They had a show w/ Daniel Ali? (sp?) a Catholic convert from Islam, and so did Marcus Grodi's Coming Home network. They could be good for a future Islam audio section. Here's a link on a report Jimmy Akin wrote after Sept. 11

[url="http://www.catholic.com/library/endless_jihad.asp"]http://www.catholic.com/library/endless_jihad.asp[/url]

There is very little of mod. Catholic apologetics in response to Islam; Catholic Answers is working on addding more, too.according to Mr. Akin or Keating on a show.

pray for me and i'll pray for u.

pax christi,
phatcatholic
