Catholics from all over North America and Europe pop in here to seek information, debate points of doctrine (or opinion) or simply socialize. The two chat rooms have themed conversations daily, as well as plenty of opportunity for free-form chat. The message boards contain discussions of everything from family history to liturgical matters, from stories of encounters with angels to the happenings in various parishes. The area also connects with Catholic news services and World Wide Web resources. - E.L.
