NB: Some topics have sub-topics.

Click on the links. You may need to press 'Ctrl' as you click.

This is a wide-ranging set of sources in English, sometimes covering different points of view. They are all potentially useful and the views in them are not necessarily being recommended here.

The sources vary in academic quality. Some are articles, others data, and some even simple evidence that may be of use when researching or building academic sources.

Although generally Catholic in position, some are from general sources, such as newspapers. Warning: the Telegraph only allows 10 page-views per month outside the UK to non-subscribers.

The sections are not precise. Some links could be placed in more than one section; equally, certain themes can be found spread over several sections (e.g., a study of divorced/remarried Catholics receiving Communion can use sources in Synod 2014, … as a Concept, ...as a Sacrament, Non-married and Divorce and Specific Issues). Therefore, the sections are to be used as a guide only.

The format is usually <content title>, <website name>.

Some link names are questions without a '?' due to file-naming issues.

Occasionally, an article appears twice from a different source – sometimes this duplication is due to useful comments below the article.
