SCRIPTURE QUOTES
Most Scripture quotations on this web site come from either the Revised Standard Version - Catholic Edition (RSVCE) or the Bishop Challoner revision of the Douay-Rheims Bible (DV). Quotations from other versions are explicitly noted as such.
The section entitled Catholic Teachings on Mary: A Defense quotes almost exclusively from the King James Version (KJV). Here too, quotations from other versions are explicitly noted.
ARTICLES
Most articles on this site are my composition. Some contain endnotes, which credit the sources cited in the article.
The Prayer for Grace is a paraphrase of the Imitation of Christ Book III Chapter 55. The quotes from the Imitation on the Blessed Sacrament and Divine Friend pages are also paraphrases.
The article Four Reasons why Intercourse is Not Essentially Sinful is a paraphrased excerpt from Thomas Aquinas' Summa Contra Gentiles 3:II:126.
I have endeavored to remain as faithful as possible to the original meaning of the texts when paraphrasing the above sections.
The excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church (Parts I, II and III) come from the Christus Rex Website. Thanks to Michael Olteanu, the Webmaster of Christus Rex, for the permission to place this text on my page.
