Dateline: April 13, 2010 — Feast of Pope Martin I, 73rd successor to St. Peter (elected in 649AD) Over the summer months we have added 203 more web postings. There are currently 1,762 questions and answers in our knowledge base. Within each Catholic category, you may see questions that are identical or seem to repeat. They have been included due to the possibility that we may have answered each question from a different aspect OR include part of an answer in one, that we left out in the other.

Volunteer help needed:

• NEW: Are you a young Catholic in your 20's or 30's who has an advanced degree in Catholic education? If so, please e-mail me. We are looking to develop friendships with the younger generation of Catholics in the Church. Our previous Holy Father talked a lot about the great hope he saw in the youth of the Church. We are looking for what I call: Catholic Internet Catechists and Apologists, CICA's, who will be able and willing to assist in transitioning the internet work we do here from an older generation to a younger generation. We can also assist others who think they have a calling to "Catholic Apologetics on the Web" in developing their own CPATS support group loyal to the Holy See.
  
  
• Volunteer grammarians needed: Are you good at spelling and grammar? Do you have free time to assist us in ensuring that all the web postings in our knowledge base read smoothly? Although we have a pretty good team of Grammarians that proofread the questions/answers before posting, due to family and work issues, most of them don't have the time to assist us in providing edit corrections to questions and answer we plan to post.
  
  Since we have started asking for volunteer Grammarian help, out of the 11 people who have volunteered, within the past year only 2 of them have had the time to do any spelling and grammar-checking. Please e-mail me ONLY if you have the time to DO the edits to new postings for the web site.
  
  The Grammarians who have done work on this site have been a great blessing seeing that some of us, starting with me, lack solid spelling and grammar skills.

RE: Thank-you for the question.

Many times, we will preface our answers by saying, "Thank-you for the question." This is because, for anyone to ask a question whether they are Catholic or non-Catholic is to open oneself up to learning more about the faith. Within and outside the Church this is a great help to others who probably have been meaning to ask the SAME question. The result: a more educated world when it comes to the Catholic Faith. So.... Thanks for your questions! and don't be ashamed to ask us!
