Our Mentors and Acknowledgements:
We have been blessed by many wonderful mentors who have stirred my interest in this field and helped us with content with this site. Among them are:
- John Pacheco, a man who is on fire for a just society and an authentic Catholic Church. He introduced me (David) to this world.
- Fr. Terry Donohue, a brilliant mind who has answered many of our questions and provided content where acknowledged.
- Fr. Bob Bedard, without him I (David) would not be alive today. He supported me all the way and provided neat concepts that have been incorporated into some of these articles. He passed away in Oct 2011.
- Dennis Girard, a former Evangelical pastor. It was letters in response to his questions that became the genesis of this site. He and his lovely wife Angelina became Catholic in 2003.
- Dave Armstrong, a great Catholic theologian who's example has inspired us to be accurate, kind, loving, and enthusiastic.
- Karl Keating who has shown us how to be accurate and scholarly and to provide a professional looking website
- Margot Zunino, who translated over 60 articles into Spanish. The site is now becoming popular among Latin American communities and in Spain.
- Joel Du Broy, several Spanish translations. He started the Spanish thing...thanks Joel.
