Earlier today, a blog posited that other blogs stayed away from this subject as if it were "the third rail." As fools rush in where angels fear to tread, here is a reading list for your enlightenment which is by no means exhaustive. Amazon.com could provide a library for one to study: "Eschatology: Death and Eternal Life" (Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger) The Last Things: Judgment, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory (Fr. John Corapi, S.O.L.T.) Eschatology (William G. Most; EWTN, 1994) Life Everlasting (Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange; EWTN) The Church Fathers on Purgatory (Phil Porvaznik; Phatmass) Cathechism of the Catholic Church (Section 2, Article 7) Eschatological Fact and Fiction (Carl Olson) Hell & The Devil/ Eschatology (Last Things) (Coming Home Network)

Catholic Answers is an apostolate that is a true gem . There's a free newsletter by Karl Keating, a superb apologist , Catholic Answers publishes "This Rock," a great Catholic magazine, and it has online Forums that are monitored for those with questions on the Faith. Catholic Answers relies on donations to support their mission; their mission is spelled out admirably . Please check to see what that mission is! Here is just one example of what they offer : a Catholic Library in which the "Fathers Know Best ." Have a question on the Faith? Check here first !

I have just added another item to the Blogroll and Favorite Websites to the right side. The site is New Advent . It is listed in menu as a Catholic Encyclopedia but it is far, far more . New Advent is a compilation of encyclopedia , the Summa Theologica , the Church Fathers , the Douay-Rheims Holy Bible (Challoner) and a Library . If you want to find out about the Council of Chalcedon, it is there . If you want to look up Good Friday, the Easter Vigil, a particular saint, Church history, whatever--it is here. This is a treasure trove and I find myself browsing on it from time to time. I just wanted you to know it is here.

Okay, so it's 3:44 AM and you can't sleep. So, what's to read? Suppose you have a hankering for " Dominicae Cenae " by Pope John Paul II? Or, perhaps it's been a while since you've perused " Humanum Genus " by Pope Leo XIII. The New Advent Catholic Library is an incredible resource . From Church Encyclicals to "quick questions" from This Rock magazine...it's all there. And, if you want to read the Summa , check out St. Catherine of Siena on the New Advent Encyclopedia or read some of the Church Fathers , the links are just along the right upper margin. Now, get some sleep. There's time to read in the morning...
