The spirit of truth

In these last two weeks of Easter the readings turn our attention to the coming of the Holy Spirit. While many titles are given in the gospels, in today's gospel it is the Spirit of truth that seems worth reflection. In a world where anyone with a computer (and/or camera and microphone) can be a publisher or broadcaster and any of them can call themselves and their sites Catholic, what do we trust?

The simplest advice stick to the actual sources: vatican.va; USCCB.org;Richmonddiocese.org; and of course your local parish websites.

Don't believe everything you read or even everything that claims to be Catholic.
