Great homiletic resource!
Catena makes it a breeze to access the riches of the Fathers of the Church (and many others) without sifting for hours. The verse-by-verse layout is perfect. The only thing I would like to see added is a way to see the reference to the original source, beyond just the author, for the sake of further research or reference. Great app!Show lessVince-3582
Amazing resource
Catena, has an intuitive user interface and over the years has become an indispensable resource and looking forward to the growing Arabic commentary section. Thank you, may God bless the team who has labored to provide this beautifully designed app.rphanna
Scripture and Tradition
Catena has truly been a blessing, illuminating Scripture with the Divine Knowledge of Holy Fathers and Saints, offering us laymen the ability to better understand the depth of God’s love for mankind. Without the blessed guidance of our Church Fathers, we would be tossed to and fro by the false teachings and “higher minded” interpretations of today’s apostate spirit, which can wreak havoc on the spiritual life and our fragile love for Christ and His commandments. Thank you for this wonderful application, I am looking forward to future updates!Show lessJohn8323
Brilliant concept
JMJ
This app makes commentaries of Church fathers, doctors of the Church, in both western and eastern rites, easily available to us. My envy tells me I ought to have thought of this, but my charity tells me to thank God this app exists.
May God bless the creators of this app and all who use it.2plastro
Easy to use interface. Solid study help!!
A friend referred your app to me today and I am very thankful and blown away! I so appreciate the ease of use interface, attention to detail, and polished professional look!Em.T.Toom
Decent app with loads of content
I’ve seen this app evolve over the years. While it is integrated for social media to connect with friends and filled with a lot of diverse teachers and content for believers there’s a couple improvements needed.
1. Seems to always be a glitch every month with this app one way or another. I have a lot of bible apps on my device and a this one always has a bug
2. Overall a great diversity of teachers with the majority of sound scriptural insights. Some a bit pop psychology and others antinomian. It would be good to see some Russian Orthodox teachers like those on the Bible Cantina App and some Hebrew Roots teachers besides Johnathan Kahn like Dr. Arthor Bailey, Monte Judah, or 119 Ministries. A diversity of teaching helps strengthen and challenge the body of Christ to grow.Show lessBeautiful musician
Wonderful Bible app
The ease of passing back and forth between Old Testament and New Testament, or even simply between Books or Chapters within them is phenomenal, especially for Catechumens interested in reading the Scriptures themselves cited in Catechisms or by the Church Fathers and Saints in their own writings. The inclusions of the commentaries themselves is excellent, albeit sometimes lacking in perfect sentence structure and punctuation, which is unlike their actual texts (these men were extraordinary writers).Show lessNatetehgr8t
Essential App for Christians of All Denominations
Although it might seem like an app geared to Orthodox Catholics (and probably is,) even I benefit from this app as a Reformed Protestant. The daily quotes are extremely helpful for learning how to live as Christians and fight our flesh. The commentaries by various Church fathers are great for those wanting to understand how the historical, even ancient Church interpreted scripture. And the daily readings are good for those times where you don't quite know where to read in scripture, and it helps you to get a little bit of scripture every day even when you are busy (reading in the early morning is probably best.) Overall I can't imagine what my faith would be like if I didn't have the insight this app makes so freely available.Show lessMinisterToCorinth
Exquisite resource
This app is phenomenal. It’s extremely easy to use, and you have the commentaries of the fathers on any given verse right at your fingertips. 10/10 would recommend!!Dijsnbabaici ucuushsbsb
Amazing
Now a Christian can read the word with different perspectives from all church fathers. That is to absorb the spiritual nutrients from the body of Christ without the barrier of time, locations and resources. And Free? May the hands, who had made this possible, are blessed by the Lord! Praise the Lord!Show lessLieh Cheng
