I’ve got numerous links to what I feel are fantastic Catholic Apologetic sites (maybe another thread, eh?). I’m looking for a site that delves into Catholic History. I’m familiar with NewAdvent.Org, but it is a little too dry (maybe my ADHD kicks in!). For example, there was a thread the other day that covered the Wycliffe/Tyndale affair in England, and it was difficult to dig up some pertinent information.

Anybody have any rare gems that they are willing to share?

P.S. How about Books? I’m currently enjoying “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic” by Kenneth Whitehead which I have found to be very enlightening.
 
The best book I have read is “Church History” by Fr. John Laux. It’s a text used in our local Catholic Seminary. Not a quick read in the slightest (over 600 pgs.), but it sounded like you wanted a good/complete reference for Church history.

“One Holy Catholic and Apostolic” is great…by the way…

Enjoy!!

For info on Wyclife try and some bible history, try:

If you want one of the best Church historians, check out Christopher Dawson.

The Formation of Christendom
The Dividing of Christendom (especially good for Reformation era).

Both were published in 1967.

Dawson converted to the Church in 1919, and was chair of Catholic studies at Harvard for a while. Brilliant man.

While not exhaustive, here’s a page that deals with the more controversial topics:

As for Wycliffe/Tyndale, there’s this, which may not be as “dry” as the Old Catholic Encyclopedia:

Thanks to all of you that have posted. All I can say to those who posted the Wycliff/Tyndale links is… Where were you guys when we needed you???

Just kidding. Anyway, don’t stop posting those good sites.
