Donate to Catholic Answers please!

Anybody who has been involved in American Catholic radio and apologetics knows the unique position of Catholic Answers has in the field. Their magazine, This Rock, was one of the first apologetic magazines post-Vatican II. Their radio talk show, Catholic Answers Live was the first live apologetics show that was radio-only (I remember the dark days of EWTN shortwave where every program except Catholic Answers life would have the awkward comment now of "now on your TV screen" seemingly every five minutes) and still is the premiere live Catholic radio shown on EWTN's radio network. On their website forums you call ask almost any question regarding apologetics and get an answer. In addition, their phone line is probably one of the few ways can actually make sure you talk to a professional Catholic apologist. While many dioceses have cut back on apologetic staff, they have basically taken up the national slack. Unfortunately, their donations have been hit hard by the financial crisis (they are not funded in any way from the USCCB, EWTN or local stations who carry their show) and if they were to cut back any more I wouldn't like to think of the harm it would do to the Catholic apologetics movement. So please donate here.
