Key Catholic Documents
 | One of my readers sent me an excellent question, which I'd love to get other people's feedback on: |
faith and morals?
As a start, I recommend the "Worth Checking Out" panel (on the right side) at tomreagan.com. In addition, I poked around the web and found the following:
- Resources at the Vatican.va site:
- Code of Canon Law (English Translation of Codex Iuris Canonici), from the Canon Law Society of America
- Resources at Wikipedia.org:
- List of Documents of the Roman Catholic Church
- Catholic Theology and Doctrine
- Infallibility in the Roman Catholic Church
- Papal Infallibility and Instances of Papal Infallibility
Does anybody else out there have some good ideas either online or offline? If you are a member of the blog, please comment directly off of this post by visiting TomReagan.com. If you don't have the ability to post, email me your thoughts directly.

No comments yet? I'll start.
Uh... I can't answer any of your questions.
Sorry.
Is that you Disco Dave? And yeah, I have to approve the comments right now, but I'm sure you'll be free to comment if you're good. :)
"fundamentals of catholic dogma" by ludwig ott.
has everything along with the level of magisterial pronouncement. check your local theological library.
Thanks for the resources, I would have suggested Vatican.va or the wikipedia.org as places to look.
Carmel,
Is that short for Carmella? That was my grandmother's name...pretty rare.
Thomas,
I added that to my wishlist which can be found on my profile. (My wishlist is basically my "I should read these books" list.)
Thanks for the comments!
I found this canon law book today as well. Note this appears to me to be the canon law as is used within the Catholic Church's internal legal system. I also found a canon lawyer's review.
Alternatively, you may prefer this introduction to canon law.
I just found the following links:
http://www.papalencyclicals.net, http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/fathers.htm, http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/medieval.htm, http://www.spurgeon.org/~phil/catholic.htm, http://www.shc.edu/theolibrary/texts.htm, and http://www.shc.edu/theolibrary.
They all look like good places with key Catholic documents.
This looks promising as well:
Adoremus' Church Documents, including various documents and encyclicals from Popes
Someone remind me to pull this together better--maybe right after Christmas or so. I have some ideas here, but I just need to find time to do it--and a reminder won't hurt. :)
