Just in case anyone is interested, I'm going to post a list of web sites I distribute at apologetics gatherings and to classes I teach. You can also access it at http://oyci.luquette.org/pdf/OYCI_Resources.pdf .
If you know of any good sites that belong on the list, please let me know.

Rick, Really helpful, thanks. Is there a non-PDF format that would allow me to copy and paste the links?
I have some suggestions:
I really like Fr Hardon's old website at http://www.therealpresence.org/index.html
For news, I find this paper has a less liberal, more faithful slant than the Reporter dudes http://www.ncregister.com/index.php
To find Catholic churches in your area or when traveling http://masstimes.org/dotNet/Default.aspx
For liturgical music information http://www.musicasacra.com/ and http://www.adoremus.org/index.html and http://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/institutions_connected/sacmus/index.htm
I find the site map at the Vatican website more helpful than its homepage http://www.vatican.va/offices/index.htm

You should be able to copy and paste them with the current version of Acrobat Reader. At least I think so. I stopped making things available in non-PDF formats because (a) other programs don't always print properly especially in other operating systems, and (b) I've had people take my work and put their names on it, and sometimes even sell what I'm giving away. That's harder to do with PDF.
Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't put Masstimes for two reasons. First, my list was compiled to be printed and handed out locally and in classes I teach, not used on the Internet. I just did that here. Second, I have found Masstimes to be extremely inaccurate in my experience. It depends on the parishes to update their records, and most parishes (at least in my experience) barely know how to turn their computers on. I'd rather send people to the diocesan web sites, which is where I go when I want to check a mass time. It's much more likely to be accurate, and it excludes schismatic groups that can sneak in on Masstimes.
The list could have gone on for days, but I wanted basic sites that a person researching the Catholic faith could explore. That's why I linked mainly to the home page of most sites (except, of course, for several listings for CHN). I included multiple links for some things, like the Catechism and the NAB, and a few "gold mine" sites like Intratext, but in general I tried to concentrate on the purpose of the list, and to keep it so it could be printed front-and-back on a single page.

Nope, the Adobe is locked text. I don't have Writer so maybe that reduces my capability? I have 5.0 so maybe that is the problem. Yes, I understand that PDF preserves the author's work. Bummer about those kinds of thieves!
Yes, MassTimes is not accurate and I do go to the specific website if the parish has one. Sometimes they don't. I like to use MassTimes when I don't know the name of the Diocese. It is very useful in finding the closest parish or getting a phone number - and I like to troll for the ones that offer Adoration! Geez those sneaky schismatics, no we don't want to send people there! MassTimes doesn't like to list those organizations either. When I come across bad information, I contact MassTimes directly.
Thanks again for a very helpful list, Tina

Maybe you’re not using the right tool, Tina. In Acrobat or Acrobat Reader, there is a specific tool, shaped like an I-beam, that should be used to select text. Perhaps you don’t have your toolbar showing to know.

Actually, I think the I-beam has been dropped from the latest version, which is Acrobat Reader 8. The current version seems to use an arrow instead of the I-beam.
I can copy and paste, but the easiest way is to select the entire document and copy it, then paste it into a word processor. The copy won't be perfect.
I don't have Adobe Acrobat, but use a utility called Print2PDF that captures the printer output and reproduces it as a PDF, so it's quite possible that all of the regular features are not there. I also sometimes use WordPerfect, which exports directly to PDF. However, I don't intend to upload it in any other format. Anyone with a really good reason for needing it in a different format can ask me privately.

David, thanks for the I-beam hint. Clicking on the "Text Select tool" allowed me to interact with the text. I'm used to very old Adobe without the capability of copying. In my former work environment, using Adobe was the way our business protected documents from being changed and passed around by creating a static image, never useable text.
Rick, theres a version 8 now? Boy am I beeeeehind.
Doh!

When I was deciding whether or not to join the church, I came across this website:
http://www.CatholicBridge.com
It answers a lot of questions and clears up a lot of misconceptions that many religions have of the Catholic church. I was unsure about whether or not to join the church, but (due in part to this website) I have begun taking RCIA classes after attending a Catholic church for sixteen years. I think a lot of people will find it useful!

Most of the sites you listed are good. I haven't checked them all, but one site in particular is a known schismatic group that is trumpeting the election of "Pope Pius XIII" and claims the papacy has been vacant since the death of Pius XII. I deleted that link so no one would be misled.

Back to an older subject. One of the websites I've found to be extremely helpful to me is the Catholic Culture site. http://www.catholicculture.org/
It rates hundreds of website for their adherance to the magisterium. I use it as often as possible to keep myself going in the right direction. Some of the ratings may surprise you. For instance, the Our Sunday Visitor website is rated a yellow (caution) rating. But only for some of the links on that site. On the whole the OSV site is good. CC also has great articles to read and has a daily/weekly newsletter that is often very interesting.
I recommend it to you.
Rich

Yes, Rich, the Catholic Culture fidelity qualifications are very strict. A lot of the Yellow Light sites are perfectly fine, and if you read their individual summaries, they will often tell you this. It’s usually just a matter of a link to a Protestant or secular site or some such thing, which in many cases does not detract in the slightest from overall utility.
I prefer to use the Catholic Culture ratings when I am looking for good Catholic information so as to avoid those sites which have strayed from the truth. I go first to the Green, and if I need more resources, I check out the Yellow.

I often check the Catholic Culture reviews. In fact, I check CHNI's rating there frequently just to make sure something hasn't slipped by. Our rating is a solid green, and I'm proud to say they list the forum as one of our strongest assets.

I noticed Fish Eaters is in the red there. I was surprised as I thought that was an okay site.
Being new to this, I appreciate the ratings system at Catholic Culture. I have seen so many doctrinal contradictions by Catholics so far that I was beginning to get discouraged. It's like a mine field out there! I really have to watch my step. I'm glad someone is monitering these sites for correct teachings. I noticed Dave A.'s site gets the green light. Yay, Dave!

Uh, Rick? I'm kinda wondering why your PDF file links to Our Lady of the Rosary Library... particularly as you personally placed a warning after I linked to a document there not all that long ago. (http://www.chnetwork.org/forums/forum9/3270.html) I'm guessing it's just a small oversight, but...

You might add: http://www.catholicmass.org/english.html
It is a site specifically for the purchase of a DVD set but worth including

Actually, they offer a free booklet called 101 Questions About The Mass which is superb. I will start recommending it to as many people as possible.
The booklet is a PDF you can download and print, and it gives an explanation of each part of the mass along with questions about history, practices, variations, etc.

Rick, I just noticed that there's still a link to OLRL buried in there - "Confessions of a Roman Catholic -- http://olrl.org/apologetics/confessrc.shtml"
