Catholic Files

I have at various points uploaded files and linked to them for download in the context of blog posts. I also have many other files which people might find useful, many of which were created by me, but some of which I found elsewhere online, or compiled from other sources. I have decided it is best to make them all available in one place so that they are described and available for easy searching. The files can be downloaded by following the link at the word "This" at the beginning of each description.
