If I am trying to use quotes on Baptism from the early Chrch Fathers from this website (www.catholic.com)), does anyone know how to put them into footnotes and Bibliography.
Do I put the quote in the text and then when citing it in the footnote, bibliograpy, just put who made the statement and the website, time, date?
Thanks
 
From catholic.com/home/permissions.asp :
“When a given text does not have an author byline, Catholic Answers should be listed as the author. For example, a citation of the tract The Divinity of Christ would read:
Catholic Answers, “The Divinity of Christ” (San Diego: Catholic Answers, 2001)”.

To quote St Augustine from catholic.com/library/Sacrifice_of_the_Mass.asp I would have:

“In the sacrament he is immolated for the people not only on every Easter Solemnity but on every day; and a man would not be lying if, when asked, he were to reply that Christ is being immolated. For if sacraments had not a likeness to those things of which they are sacraments, they would not be sacraments at all; and they generally take the names of those same things by reason of this likeness”

Footnote and bibliography: Augustine, Letters 98:9. Catholic Answers retrieved via internet; 6 November 2006; http: // www . catholic.com/library/Sacrifice_of_the_Mass . asp.
