The Douay-Rheims Bible, revised into a 'you' version: I am now trying to work on this after the very good reception given to the Revised Knox Bible. Past experience helps in the conversion work; but it is a bigger undertaking. The New Testament is under way, with the Gospels being posted first. God willing, it may be finished by the end of the year. The Old Testament is going to be much more challenging.
The Vocation to Marriage (from Faith magazine (July-August, 2011) is also posted. There I seek to reflect on "the twofold end of marriage: the good of the spouses and the transmission of life" (CCC 2362); and to show the interdependence between these two ends. To my mind, many spouses today are not achieving their "good" - i.e. the learning to love here on earth that prepares them for the infinite love of heaven - because they fail to see that children are not "optional extras" in a marriage but a privileged gift of God that involves the spouses in his divine plans, drawing them out of themselves and above themselves.
Then I have resurrected from somewhere an old essay of mine, Law and Morality. It too can be found in the English articles section.
