A recommended daily prayer for Christians having a hard time with Marian teachings by Rosalind Moss:

Lord, if it is your desire and will that your mother become an important part of my growth in holiness as a Christian, then please make a way and a time to introduce me to her and grant me the grace to be responsive to all she has to offer me. Amen.

Over the summer months we have added 60 more questions with Catholic answers. There are currently 717 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), I would really appreciate it if you would send a small note of recognition and moral support for our site to my pastor (I receive little to no support* from him*). A note to Cardinal O'Malley would be appreciated as well:
Fr. Brian Kiley St. Patrick Catholic Church 44 East Central Street Natick, Massachusetts 01760	Seán Cardinal O'Malley, OFM Cap 75 Union Park Street Boston, Mass. 02118
Thanks, Mike Humphrey, registered parishioner at St. Patricks

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 some free time to assist us in posting new questions and answers. 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. 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!

PRIVACY AND COUNSELING ISSUES.

Seeing that one of the main goals of this apostolate is to clarify teachings and correct misperceptions about the One Church, Our Blessed Lord Jesus established on St. Peter, for the good of ALL faith-seekers, Christian and non-Christian alike:

Unless you state otherwise in your question, our dialogue will probably be put into the knowledge base.

If your question is of a personal nature and you wish to not be identified, we can substitute your name with Anonymous. Just tell me to do so in the e-mail when asking the question. In addition, I will strive to change all e-mail dialogues of a deeply personal nature to "Anonymous wrote:" before posting.

Our main goal at AskACatholic.com is to clarify misconceptions and answer questions about the Teachings and doctrines of the Catholic Church. Our focus: Internet Evangelization and Apologetics. Over the past twelve years we have been evangelizing, we have received some questions that desire some type of "on-line counseling". While one of our priest-helpers is a Ph.D. and we never want to be accused of not answering a person's question; we wish to make clear, the apologists at AskACatholic.com are NOT licensed counselors. We can give advise, general guidelines and opinions, but the very best direction a person can take is to bring their concern to a local parish priest that is faithful to the Holy Father and the Teachings of the Church. He will have the ability to apply the total situation, the facts, realities, nuances, to Church Teaching and Canon Law.

OTHER ISSUES.

PLEASE limit the number of questions per e-mail to no more than 5. You are more then welcome to keep asking questions, but we can do a better job if we can focus on a few to start. After we have answered those you can ask some more. Buckshot e-mails will be ignored, Read The 'non-Christian believer'.

(Optional): The internet brings together a WORLD-WIDE community of people. So that we can assist you more, please share with us some background information:

What country do you live in?
How old are you?
Are you a man or woman?
Do you have family?
Have you had any religious background?
or any other information you believe would assist us in answering your question.
