Up: Catechesis
Land here when the user asks: about Scripture or the Bible; for a specific verse or passage
(Matthew 5:8, Genesis 1, Psalm 23); about a book of the Bible; about a gospel, psalm, prophet, or
epistle; for the Greek, Hebrew, Latin, or Vulgate wording of a text; what a verse says or means.
A tri-text Bible: Septuagint Greek · Douay-Rheims English · Clementine Vulgate, 1,410 notes —
one per chapter across 73 books of the Catholic canon. Challoner’s commentary rides along as
collapsible notes.
Every verse carries a ^N block anchor, so citations deep-link:
Matthew 5:8. Cite the anchor, never the bare chapter.
Backlinks are where the value is. The Bible links out only to the Encyclopedia. The Fathers,
Summa, Encyclopedia and Catechism all cite into these verse anchors — 50,794 of them resolve. To
find who expounds a verse, look at what links to it. Matthew 5 is the most-cited chapter in the
corpus; Matthew 5:8 alone draws 66 citations from the Fathers
across 16 named authors — 79 across the whole library.
