Catholic Diocese App for iOS/Android powers new Jesuit App
Ever since building Catholic STL, an iOS app for the Archdiocese of St. Louis, and then generalizing the code to produce the Catholic Diocese App for iOS, I’ve wanted to develop a version for Android.
A few months ago, the Jesuit Conference contacted me, and finally gave me the ability to do this. Not only was I able to build the Jesuit App for iOS and Android phones (Android version will be on Google Play soon!), but I was able to generalize the code from the...

This API allows you to request information about the sections of the Catechism and to search the text of the Catechism by word or Scripture reference. In the near...

USCCB Announces 'Browser-Based eBook' Catechism
This morning, the USCCB announced the release of a new Catechism of the Catholic Church as an eBook. My hopes that this was finally true were dashed when I found two problems:

- The actual ePub Catechism is still $10.
The ePub file costs very little (in terms of infrastructure) to download—probably a penny or less per download. The...
