Just about every document that comes out of Rome ends up being printed by the Daughters of St. Paul in booklet form. IIRC that’s the reason for their existence. I was a little surprised they were still doing it though since everything has been available for free on vatican.va for the last 10 years.
To my complete shock however, there’s a link on vatican.va to the Vatican Publishing house catalog and apparently they’re selling documents too, but good luck placing an order.
Now, why anyone under 50 would bother buying a dead tree version of anything anymore is simply beyond me and it strains credulity to the breaking point. That anyone actually using the internet would do so shatters credulity, throttles it, jumps up and down on it and roasts it for dinner.
As it happens however, my best friend is a priest in his early 30s and he’s one of those “gotta have it on paper” loons too. I’m a decade older (and apparently WISER) and use iPieta on my iphone IN CHURCH and divinumofficium.com on the Wii for the family to say Compline every night. So while I believe people exist who are unduly attached to dead trees I really have trouble believing anyone would spend actual money on something they didn’t hold in high regard when an online version was readily available.
Tell me you just bought a buggy whip for your Volkswagen and see how I react. If Natural Law said he’d just bought a hardcopy of Calvin’s Institutes I’d call for a mental health professional. Heh... NL and Quix sitting in a room arguing over who’s supposed to be on the couch, sorry, the LOLs are scaring my kids.
I am frankly surprised that other anti-Catholics are keeping Dr. E's lack of credibility in the forefront. I may have become the subject of this thread, (in violation of forum rules)but it's not my fault that I don't believe her.
Yes, some of us still actually shell out a few bucks for a book.
You should try it sometime.

Roman Catholic apologists have said practically the same thing about the Bible.
Their loss.
Maybe that's why RC apologists are so ill-informed. They only read Rome's propaganda. They are ignorant of the alternate, better point of view.

Just... wow....
I can still read when the electricity goes out.
Thank God for technology independent resources.
