Dateline:August 5, 2010 — Our Lady of the Snows Over the summer months we have added 191 more web postings. There are currently 1,953 questions and answers in our knowledge base. Within each Catholic category, you may see questions that are identical or seem to repeat. They have been included due to the possibility that we may have answered each question from a different aspect OR include part of an answer in one, that we left out in the other. Click on the appropriate category of interest to the left. To view the list of most recently posted questions and answers click on the New Questions category on the left near the top.

If you have been helped by our web site ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If visiting our web site has helped you to better understand the Catholic Faith (either as a Catholic or a seeking Protestant), it would really be appreciated if you could send a small note of recognition and moral support for the time, effort and work all of us at AskACatholic.com do. We answer any where from 30 to 70 questions a month. You can send it to Cardinal O'Malley (mainly) and my pastor (not important), if you wish.

Volunteer help needed:

• NEW: Are you a young Catholic in your 20's or 30's who has an advanced degree in Catholic education? If so, please e-mail me. We are looking to develop friendships with the younger generation of Catholics in the Church. Our previous Holy Father talked a lot about the great hope he saw in the youth of the Church. We are looking for what I call: Catholic Internet Catechists and Apologists, CICA's, who will be able and willing to assist in transitioning the internet work we do here from an older generation to a younger generation. We can also assist others who think they have a calling to "Catholic Apologetics on the Web" in developing their own CPATS support group loyal to the Holy See.
  
  
• Volunteer grammarians needed: Are you good at spelling and grammar? Do you have free time to assist us in ensuring that all the web postings in our knowledge base read smoothly? Although we have a pretty good team of Grammarians that proofread the questions/answers before posting, due to family and work issues, most of them don't have the time to assist us in providing edit corrections to questions and answer we plan to post.
  
  Since we have started asking for volunteer Grammarian help, out of the 11 people who have volunteered, within the past year only 2 of them have had the time to do any spelling and grammar-checking. Please e-mail me ONLY if you have the time to DO the edits to new postings for the web site.
  
  The Grammarians who have done work on this site have been a great blessing seeing that some of us, starting with me, lack solid spelling and grammar skills.

RE: Thank-you for the question.

Many times, we will preface our answers by saying, "Thank-you for the question." This is because, for anyone to ask a question whether they are Catholic or non-Catholic is to open oneself up to learning more about the faith. Within and outside the Church this is a great help to others who probably have been meaning to ask the SAME question. The result: a more educated world when it comes to the Catholic Faith. So.... Thanks for your questions! and don't be ashamed to ask us!
