I use many resources, although I had been typing out the Haydock New Testament, which is a unique translation of the Latin Vulgate. The Haydock NT matches the Haydock Commentary references better than the Rheims.

The people responsible for the sites listed below put a great deal of time and effort into making those sources available to you. Just about everything that I have published here is available at the sites below…..

SacredBible.org – I absolutely love this website and would not be able to do this site without making frequent use of the Douay-Rheims text so simply laid out, which is a massive time saver. It contains the text of the Latin Vulgate in several revisions, along with a public domain transcription of the Douay-Rheims Challoner Bible and a completely new, public domain translation of the Latin Vulgate (Clementine) into current English. There is also a Latin-English study Bible with notes. This site gets top honors for these reasons.

Haydock Bible Commentary – This most excellent site is a transcription of the fantastic notes from the Haydock Bible. From what I can tell it is now complete. Edit – I have been copying from this website since Holy Week 2008 and will continue to do so.

Catechetics Online - This is an amazing resource for the student of Catholicism. Highly recommended. They have many patristic writings, the Catena Aurea and several other resources. You really need to use this site.

USCCB NAB website with Daily Readings – United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Their work is copyrighted and I’m unable to post it (I haven’t asked for permission), but I can link to the USCCB site where you can find the Mass Readings currently used in American Churches. (The links here remain up, but the USCCB apparently removes outdated pages after a while.) Update 8/2011 – The entire website was recently revamped. The people responsible for it have done a wonderful job. The Bible there is now the NAB Revised Edition with revised and expanded Old Testament notes and explanations. The translation of the Old Testament and Psalms are new as of March 2011. There is a calendar on the site which will allow you to jump to the readings for any day in the near future. They have also posted audio files of the daily readings.

DRBO – Douay-Rheims Bible Online in paragraph format. I don’t use this site for readings because it has a copyright notice, but it’s good for reading the Douay-Rheims Bible online because of the format.

Universalis – This site is excellent. They have the Liturgy of the Hours and the Daily Readings from the Jerusalem Bible. Unfortunately the Jerusalem Bible, though easy to read and free from abuse (use is not necessarily abuse) of gender inclusion, is copyright restricted. Therefore I can’t use it. The Liturgy of the Hours posted on Universalis does not seem to include all of the responses, but it’s still very valuable for daily devotion…. and it’s free. If you want the official prayers you can visit the St Thomas More House of Prayer.

NEW Google Books – What Google has done here is amazing. They are cooperating with various libraries to scan as many books as they can as photo reproductions in PDF format and are using a high grade OCR software to change public domain books into text. It’s not a perfect process, but there are great many books from 1920 and earlier that are hard to find, but are in the public domain. Many of these books are Catholic. You can search the books from their website, or download the PDF. I have found several wonderful books, all free, that pertain to Catholic Tradition, traditional practices, and Catholic history and apologetics. In the sad state of the modern world, copyright law often gets in the way. These free sources are a blessing to everyone.
