John Salza Apologetics: Scripture/Fathers Scroll far down for the subjects on the left. Scripture citations are followed by a brief exegesis of the text. i.e. 70+ verses supporting the primacy of Peter. Numerous other headings.

Waiting for the Apocalypse Waiting for the Apocalypse Dave Armstrong is the best Catholic apologist, IMO. Sheds light on the "end times obsession.

I do a fair amount of research for the hard ones as everybody should; I'll post more as I come across them.

I think you ought to move this thread to the OBOB board if you wish to limit posts to Catholics only. Otherwise, you will be getting input from non-Catholics such as myself.

I don't have the authority to move a thread, and input from non-Catholics is welcome. Hopefully they will read a link or two and make an informed comment, instead of the usual.

Thanks. An excellent site. I use it daily. Again, this thread is not for Catholics only. "Fellow Catholics" is addressed to Catholics wishing to share their favorite apologetic sites, an in-house resource page. The thread title is not intended to be exclusive, that would be contrary to the meaning of "Catholic", so I changed the title. Even an atheist can post a Catholic link they find interesting.

I was looking for Catholic evidence on the duration of Saint Peter's stay in Rome, and came across the following link as I did so.

The advantage of this site is that in the articles there are further links to other Catholic apologetics topics. This particular one deals with the "Big rock, little rock" nonsense that is trotted out by some Protestant fundamentalists to try to down play the importance of the Petrine declaration. But as you read it, there are links to other Catholic apologetics arguments.

Was Peter the Rock?<br> The "little rock, big rock" theory

Thanks. An excellent site. Any honest inquirer reading that could not deny that Peter is the Rock upon which Christ builds His Church. Here is a related site:

Steve Ray's page. He was the one who got the ball rolling for me about converting to Catholicism.

Shameless Popery
A blog written by a team of more scholarly priests about a fairly wide variety of subjects relating to Catholicism.

I used to avidly follow an Anglo-Catholic blog about a former Episcopalian whose congregation joined up with the Catholic Church's ordinariate. Unfortunately he stopped updating after a while and then the domain name expired. Otherwise I would've included it here since it celebrated a "homeless" Anglican coming back to Rome. The heck of it is I'm pretty sure I've at least seen the writer of the blog around since a good number of his articles were related to my local Anglican Use parish... where I've attended Mass on several occasions.

Here's another good one. The practicalities of human gestation might've required that Our Lady be assumed into Heaven in order for no particle of Our Lord to see decay.

 

[kepha31]

It makes sense. I had to google "microchimerism"

In humans (and perhaps in all placentals), the most common form is fetomaternal microchimerism (also known as fetal cell microchimerism or fetal chimerism) whereby cells from a fetus pass through the placenta and establish cell lineages within the mother. Fetal cells have been documented to persist and multiply in the mother for several decades.[1][2]The exact phenotype of these cells is unknown, although several different cell types have been identified, such as various immune lineages, mesenchymal stem cells, and placental-derived cells.[3] A 2012 study at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle, has detected cells with the Y chromosome in multiple areas of the brains of deceased women.[4] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microchimerism

Science shows that Mary retained some (incarnate) cells from The Redeemer in the Womb, making a strong argument for the Assumption.

 

[thecolorsblend]

Pretty much. Like Elizabeth, I was always willing to just roll with Our Lady's Assumption. The Church requires that I believe that so I did. "If you say so."

This shows good reason to believe they are telling the total truth.
