Church Councils
Mary I emphasize Mary only because Protestants are so mystified by the Catholic view.
Biblical Interpretation How are we to interpret the Bible? Protestant Errors The many passages that contradict Protestant teaching. I emphasize this topic because it was an important reason I converted from Fundamentalism to Catholicism.

Categories of Writings
| Church Councils | These are very significant. When the bishops come together in union with the Pope and decide things, we should listen. This is an important way in which the Holy Spirit guides the church. |
| Papal Encyclicals | The are authoritative documents written by Popes. These documents are rich in spiritual insight. |
| Catholic Doctrine (Theology) | Without doctrine we can easily drift into error. |
| The Bible | The Catholic Church has a high regard for sacred scripture. It is inerrant. |
| Church History | A fascinating topic. |
| Early Church Fathers | I emphasize the early church fathers up to and including Augustine. It is difficult to believe that the church went "bad" so early. Rather, I prefer to believe that Jesus was successful in establishing His church. By reading the Early Church Fathers we have a guide for what the church believed. |
| Protestant Doctrine | I emphasize doctrine which is in conflict with Catholic doctrine. |
| Moral Theology | The Catholic Church emphasizes this topic. |
| Relationship with Jesus (Pastoral Concerns) | The whole point of Christianity. Various reflections and meditations intended to increase our love for Jesus. |
| Development of Doctrine | Even Protestant doctrine has developed. |
| Teaching Magisterium of the Catholic Church | This is what was missing for me as a Protestant. I needed an authoritative guide for how to interpret the Bible. |
| North Forest Site Map | My first web site. It has many Christian topics. |
| The Catechism of the Catholic Church | The official guide of Catholic teaching, doctrine, and practice. |
| Anti-Catholic Misrepresentations | Anti-Catholics typically misrepresent nearly everything Catholic. |
| Christian Topics | Various articles. |
