Short & Sweet
The Essays on this website were designed to answer the most common objections on a particular Catholic teaching. The documents in this section (about a half a page) address one or two main points that can be refuted solidly and in short order. They are designed to provoke thought and perhaps begin the process of dispelling any misunderstandings about Catholicism. You can even use them as fillers in a church bulletin.
