Some Show Interest in Knowing About the Catholic Church

_

St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican (Rome, Italy)
is the symbol of the Roman Catholic Church

In the recent past, we gave a coverage of Bishop Raymond J. Lahey of the Diocese of Antigonish in Nova Scotia, Canada, and his downfall. In spite of this and other priestly scandals and indiscretions, some non-Catholics expressed their interest in learning more of the Roman Catholic Church.

There are numerous useful Catholic websites and blogs available on the subject of Roman Catholic beliefs and practices. I mention below some of them:
