Choose a source by the question you want to answer. Start with Scripture or an official Church document for the text itself, a diocese or parish for local practice, and a clearly identified publisher for explanation or reflection. This directory keeps those roles visible so you can follow a link with a purpose.
Use the right kind of source
- For the wording of a passage: open a complete Bible or the original Church document, then read the surrounding section.
- For current local practice: use your diocese or parish, especially for services, sacramental preparation, and Lenten obligations.
- For commentary: notice the publisher, author, date, and sources. An independent publication’s interpretation carries a different status from an official Church document.
External sites set their own access, privacy, and publication policies. Historical encyclopedias and older personal websites can be useful for research when read in their period and context.
