5 Vital Catholic Resources That Are Always Online and Always Free

Did you know that, according to modest estimates, a Bible owned by a noble family in the Middle Ages would have cost the family the modern-day equivalent of tens of thousands of dollars? That’s more than a few flights back and forth to Rome to rub the foot on the statue of Saint Peter! And, of course, only the formally educated within society (i.e., typically, the clergy, religious, and nobility) were able to read at all.

Times have certainly changed, and not only is literacy much higher around the globe, but in the digital age, these resources are always available online, for free! Are you using them? Do you have a free moment, perhaps while in line at Aldi, and want to catch up on the day’s Gospel reading? What the Catholic Church teaches about the sacraments? Whip out your device and check out these reliably good reads.
