NEW SEARCH ENGINE FOR SEARCHING USEFUL CATHOLIC QUOTES

Peter Berners Lee has been working on a search engine to help those wanting to know more about their Catholic faith. FaithKnowledge.org is a search engine for people looking for that elusive quote or what has been said authoritatively in Church documents such as the Catechism, or the teaching of the Popes or the Councils of the Church. Unlike most other search engines you can target where you want to search. Peter comments, “I hope people will find it useful. I know it’s a resource I wish that I’d had, particularly when I was studying for my theology degree.”
