Papal Encyclicals Online (www.papalencyclicals.net) features encyclicals of 43 Popes (from 13th century to present) in html text as well as kindle format. The Vatican website also lists encyclicals and other papal documents.
Other websites I recommend for free Catholic books: freecatholicebooks.com, saintsbooks.net/BooksList.html, catholicebooks.wordpress.com, basilica.org/pages/ebooks.php, isidore.co, obrascatolicas.com, (rare/out of print books in Portuguese, Spanish and English), liberius.net/langues.php (books in a dozen different languages).
Thank you so much for this website and the compilation. I shall pray for you for the good you do with this work, and for your faith to remain strong. May God sustain his faithful, all of us as we persevere aided by grace. God bless you.
I cannot appreciate this website enough. I authoritatively proclaim it the best website in the world and this is why we have Internet. May God through Our Lady bless who owns this website abundantly.
I thank you so much for this magnificent list of spiritual books! I am now able to download the audio files for my dad to listen to. I am praying desperately for his baptism and acceptance of the one true Faith-Catholicism. I already said a prayer for you as you requested. May God bless you abundantly!
Your work and the books contained are treasures that will strengthen the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. Praying that the Lord bless and protect you all! Father in the Name of Jesus, our brother and Lord, together with the Holy Spirit our helper, we ask that through the ministry of the Angels that you protection and grace be upon these laborers in this site and that it be extended to all their families and love ones. We ask this with the intercession of the Holy Spouses, Mama Mary and St. Joseph, the Angelic Doctor, St. Thomas, the Seraphic Doctor St. Bonaventure and the Doctor of Grace St. Augustine. Amen.

Just wondering if you have accesss to IOTA UNUM by Romano Amerio.? Thanks for this wonderful list of incalculable teachings to keep all confused knowing the Truths of our Catholic Faith. Did you know anything about THE BOOK OF HEAVEN by Luisa Piccarreta and The Living in the Kingdom of the Divine Will? It is the safety net for these times. Thanks and God Bless in the Divine Will of God. Bermadette
Thanks for this link to Iota UNUM. God Bless you. Regarding Luisa Piccarreta, there is a website luisapiccarreta.co, what the Catholic Church says about Luisa Piccarreta, and the books placed on the forbidden index in 1938. Pope Pius X was very accepting of one of these works, called The Hours of The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and said that anyone reading this work must kneel to do so. IT was given the Nihl Obstat by Francesco Sorrentino (Revisone Eccl.) in 1915. St Francis Di Hannibal had it printed. The 36 Volumes were never put on the index. Hope this helps. In the Divine Will.

Thank you for your comment. I just tried to download them and it worked fine. Perhaps it was some temporary issue. Or try another browser. If you still have issues, I can email them to you. God bless.
I have tried to download so many Catholic books but found it difficult to download some. I thank God for whoever did this good work of bringing out so many Catholic books for our spiritual nourishment and growth. I pray for your sanctification and that you may achieve an infinite love for Jesus Christ our God and his Holy Mother, the blessed Mary ever Virgin. Thank you so much and I pray that you may live a saintly life and become a saint after your death. In Jesus Name AMEN.
Thank you may the Good lord continue to increase your love for him and for souls, my friend only in eternity will you know the good you have done. I pray that you may always remain in humble self knowledge and knowledge of God, my friend enter this house of who are you oh lord and who am I. My friend I beg for the sake of God and all the Good work you have been doing to know that God is all and we miserable sinners are nothing but in existence. Be always little. Thank you again ?????????????????????????????????
I can not thank this website enough for this great deposit of the treasures of our faith made accessable to us at this point in time. God richly bless and keep you all who are the instruments for this refreshment of our most dear faith.
your sites are a wonderful resource for those looking to read up and learn the faith. Wonderful work. I have been visiting for years but wanted to extend my thanks to you for continuing the collection. I also think each of us need to download as many of these books, encyclicals, etc. as we can to make sure they are not lost. Back up the back up to the back up sort of thing.
A few years ago, before I started this blog and before I seriously started getting into apologetics, I trekked cyberspace for an online Christian community to discuss all matters pertaining to faith. I came across one particular Christian forum (which shall remain nameless) and before learning that is was very, very anti-Catholic and filled with rabid-mouthed fundamentalists, I read their forum disclaimer and the administrators had something to say about Catholicism in particular. Apart from claiming that they believed Catholicism was not Christian, their disclaimer read something like this:
I believe that is why I am a Christian today. I know that faith was a gift and that all the works I did after that as a Catholic were through the grace of God and his work, not mine. I was the recipient and he was the initiator. (Pope John Paul II).
How are we to understand this affirmation, often repeated by the Church Fathers? Re-formulated positively, it means that all salvation comes from Christ the Head through the Church which is his Body: Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his Body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it.
Important points to take away from this excerpt from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1. The ordinary means of salvation is through the Catholic Church, meaning that all who know and understand that the Church was founded by Jesus Christ as the way to salvation have the moral obligation to accept the truth in order to be saved.
2. If a person is ignorant of Jesus Christ or his Church, they may be able to have eternal salvation by seeking God with a sincere heart and following their natural conscience.
There are over 38,000 different Christian denominations in the world today, not including the Muslims and others who are not Christian. Do you believe, as a practicing Catholic, that all of these have to belong to the Roman Catholic Church to be saved and that Jesus Christ did not die for ALL? I am not sure that is what the RCC teaches in the catechism, nor in the Bible.
The church that I attend now is an Episcopal Church. I receive communion along with my husband. The pastor is a former Catholic priest and all baptized persons are welcome to receive communion. It is interesting that Pope Francis recently spoke of Catholics who were divorced and remarried and said it was time for mercy. He said they could not begin to handle all the thousands of annulments and the fact that those awaiting them for years were not allowed to receive communion. From his words he seems to want to change that! Surprised?
According to my research, Episcopal/Anglican Orders are valid, but not legal. Anglican priests are becoming Catholic for their own reasons and Catholics are becoming Episcopalians/Anglicans. Both are leaving and forming their own dioceses, etc. Today one has to follow his/her conscience I guess.
May I respectfully share the fruits of my thoughts while contemplating a woman at the altar in an effort to express what, as a Catholic, I have long believed to be missing from liturgical and Eucharistic celebrations of the past. When I see a woman priest on the altar taking great care to hold the different items used in the consecration, I am reminded of Mary serving not only Christ, but members of his Body. Her presence reminds me that it was a woman chosen to hold the elements of a divine and human presence together in her body. As she pours the wine into the chalice, and the water into the wine, it is a symbol to me of the union of the human and divine in one person. A woman can bring that symbolism to me in a very effective way, just as it was a woman who first held the body and blood of Christ in her womb, in her arms at birth, presented him to the Father at the Presentation and served him her entire life in humility and love.
I beg you to consider the meaning proclaimed to the world by ordaining women to the priesthood. We are all called to the priesthood of the laity and some to become leaders. A woman priest is an outstanding example of what that means. God is both mother and father with the attributes of both. She inspires trust, humility, service and dedication to the entire community, the same as a man. Without women, the Mass to me is not the same. Her humble, yet effective manner of offering herself in service and we in receiving Christ from her should not be aborted, but completed as she brings the body of Christ to birth.
