Welcome!

eCatholicism.org is a collection of Internet Resources with up-do-date and current information regarding the Church's interaction with the modern world, politics and society.

Besides being a resource for information, eCatholicism.org will also offer our visitors the ability to proclaim the Good News in new ways, to serve as witnesses to the Saving Power of our God and to re-affirm their identity as faith-filled communities to a world which desperately needs to hear the Gospel message - now more than ever before.

LED BY THE SPIRIT

The Paschal Mystery reminds us that God heals, He loves and He forgives. Yet he is often difficult to see, he never answers us in terms that we would like and never presents himself in the concrete ways that we could take as "visible signs." Still, the mystery of God overpowers sin and death. It replaces the ugliness of suffering and pain with the joy of hope and replaces hatred and violence with the promise of peace. The Cross of Christ reminds us that God's arms are opened wide in a loving embrace, that he has smashed the rock of the Tomb and that he has given us a new life in Himself.
