The purpose of The Catholic Library is to assemble a comprehensive collection of public domain Catholic books, articles on Catholic subjects, and official documents of Holy Mother Church, and to present them, free of charge, to the general Internet populace. We hope to make the official documents available in English, in their original language, and in Latin - the language of Holy Mother Church.

TOTO ORBE TERRARUM DIFFUSA

CAPUT PRIMUM
DE NOMINE ECCLESIÆ

Controversia de Ecclesia militante, multas habet partes. Primum enim de ipsa secundum se agendum erit; tum de membris ejus, hoc est, de clericis, de monachis, de laicis. Rursum autem de Ecclesia militante secundum se considerata, de qua nunc disputare aggredimur, tres sunt præcipue controversiæ. Prima est, de nomine et definitione Ecclesiæ. Secunda, de qualitate, seu de visibilitate ejusdem. Tertia, de notis, quibus ea certo cognosci potest.

The Incarnation Versus Calvinists and Lutherans

A Detailed Analysis of the Implications of Reformation Theology

By: Jay Dyer

St. Gregory of Nyssa wrote of the reason for the Incarnation:
“Sick, our nature demanded to be healed; fallen, to be raised up; dead, to rise again. We had lost the possession of the good; it was necessary for it to be given back to us. Closed in the darkness, it was necessary to bring us the light; captives, we awaited a Savior; prisoners, help; slaves, a liberator. Are these things minor or insignificant? Did they not move God to descend to human nature and visit it, since humanity was in so miserable and unhappy a state?” (Orat. Catech., 15)

Dream Thread: This is for ideas and thoughts about organizing the content

Mon, 2010-05-24 02:20 — Tancred

I have a few ideas which would be nice to make this more useable:

1. Make the forum element more visible so that people can long onto it when they get in. I know it's easy for me, but I find it confusing about where to go to illicit my "thoughts".

2. I'd like to see some kind of a flashing jpg file with lots of interfaces like multiple television screens linking to other forums and news services we like, not quite like a scroll, but more like a shiny diamond that is more tactile and visually attractive.
