It's not hard at all to teach young children to pray in Latin, before
they're old enough to think they're not smart enough to do it!

Protestant Bible Scholars
Watch out for Protestant Scripture scholars! They will go to any lengths to force the Bible to conform to their interpretations, even to the point of changing the dictionary, as in the case of the Greek word sarx.
Enneagram
There were some people looking for information about the Enneagram, so I did some research on it and the Sufi religion, and wrote this explanation of this un-Christian tool.
P. Baker has also recently written a short exposition on the Enneagram in an effort to stop it from being presented in his parish. You can read his reflections on the Enneagram here.
Bad Movies/Books
Here is the results of some research I did on the History of the Legion of Decency recently. The Encyclical on the Communications Field, Miranda Prorsus, by Pope Pius XII can be found in the EWTN Library. And here is an address by Pope Pius XII on bad reading.
Evolution and Polygenism
Even though a belief in Evolution does not, in itself, contradict Catholic belief, believing in Polygenism is condemned, along with the belief that the soul evolved and was not directly created by God.
Mary's Virginity
"MARY HAD OTHER CHILDREN...? Or did she?" is an article [edited] that was written by Bob Stanley to disprove the error popular among Protestants who refuse to believe in the perpetual virginity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
For the full article, and also other apologetic articles he has written, please contact Bob Stanley at <bstanley@telis.org>
Bibles
Here is a place on the Internet where you can do a Bible Search for specific words or phrases. It is a Protestant Bible, but most of the time it matches well enough to be useful anyway. The Latin Vulgate
are also available on the internet.
