Jesus Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever ~

More than at other time in human history, people are swamped with information. With the internet being in the palm of everyone’s hand, information is everywhere, some of it true and helpful, some of it misleading and evil. We must be discerning not only about the information we access, but the degree to which we access it. This is also true of where we get information about our Catholic faith.

At this point, it should simply be assumed that non-Catholic sources intentionally run misleading stories to undermine the Catholic Church, while championing heretical Catholics and denigrating faithful Catholics. This is true not only of news sources but sources of entertainment and education as well. Even more sadly, it is also true that many Catholic news sources mislead Catholics into believing falsehoods about the Catholic faith.

Inform yourself. Not daily, but weekly or at least monthly, read news on what is going on in the Catholic Church from God’s perspective and not the world’s. Read these pastor’s columns weekly. Be responsible and get your catechesis and news from Catholic organizations that inform their readers about the truths of our faith, while sharing what is happening in the Church. Below are some Catholic sources that I recommend and a few I do not.
