The Internet has made available a great deal of material that can help us learn more about our Catholic faith and grow in our spiritual lives. Not every site that uses the name Catholic, however, is trustworthy. Sadly, there are sites that claim to be Catholic which do not fully reflect the fullness of our Catholic tradition and some which actually distort it. So as with any site on the Internet, it is important to be wise and cautious.
You will find below those sites that have an official status and can be trusted to reflect Catholic teaching and practice.
