Check Out the New CatholicCulture.org Website

The long-awaited renovation of CatholicCulture.org is finally open, and we'd like you to take a look.

This is a "beta" release, so both the visual presentation and the feature-set are still under development. But it is already richer than the old site, and easier to use as well. Here's what's new:

More Commentary
More columns and a new blog.
A new and growing What You Need to Know feature.

Improved Search
New data to search, such as the Fathers and a Catholic dictionary.
More balanced search results lead you faster to the things you need.
For example, try searching for Eucharist.

New Data Stores
Browse and search the full Catechism.
Look up Catholic terms in Fr. John Hardon's Modern Catholic Dictionary.
Browse and search the writings of the Fathers, with each Patristic text described for quick reference.

New Document Collections
Easily-accessible sub-collections from our library:
153 documents from Benedict XVI.
1,728 documents from John Paul II.
More special collections based on user requests.

Improved liturgical calendars and displays

If you do not have Catholic Culture bookmarked, perhaps you should...It's a tremendous resource!
