Whether you are traveling abroad, living as an expat, or simply maintaining your daily spiritual routine, Calitre is your pocket companion for the Catholic Liturgy of the Word. Calitre is designed specifically to help you follow along with the Mass, even when it is being celebrated in a foreign language. With support for 19 different languages, you can read the daily First Reading, Psalm, Second Reading, and Gospel in your native tongue, allowing you to fully participate in the global Catholic community wherever you are. Core Features: - Daily Mass Readings: Instantly access the readings for today, following the A, B, and C liturgical cycles. - 19 Languages Supported: Switch seamlessly between English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Croatian, Romanian, Lithuanian, -Danish, Swedish, Ukrainian, Arabic, Tagalog, and Vietnamese. - Essential Prayers: Includes the Our Father and the Profession of Faith (Creed) so you can join in the most fundamental parts of the Mass. - Adjustable Typography: Quickly increase or decrease the font size for comfortable reading without grabbing your glasses. Note on Translations: To ensure Calitre remains accessible and can be shared freely across so many languages, the texts are sourced from public domain and historical translations. Because of this, they capture the true essence of the scripture but may occasionally differ word-for-word from the modern official lectionary read at the altar in your specific region.

apologetics.pro is a free, searchable library of the evidence for the Christian faith: the historical case for Jesus and the resurrection, the reliability of the Bible, the classic arguments of philosophy and science, and honest examinations of atheism, relativism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism and Hinduism. It is the companion app to apologetics.pro and carries the site's complete evidence repository. HOW IT IS ORGANIZED The evidence is arranged in 15 cases. An apologetic case argues for Christianity. A polemic case examines another belief system, and opens with "What it is": a fair description of that system, in terms its own adherents would recognise, before any critique. Every case makes a set of claims. Every claim is backed by numbered exhibits: ancient historians, manuscripts, archaeology, philosophy, science and Scripture, each with the citations and links to check the source yourself. Under each exhibit, the most common objections are stated fairly and answered directly, conceding what should be conceded. WORKS OFFLINE The whole repository downloads to your phone the first time you open the app and refreshes quietly whenever you have a connection. Read it on a plane, in a study group, or anywhere the signal is poor. Search works offline too, and tolerates typos. FEATURES - 15 cases: Historical Jesus, Resurrection of Christ, Reliability of Scripture, The Trinity, Relativism, Problem of Evil, Philosophy, Science, Atheism, Islam, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, Scientology, Buddhism, Hinduism - Search cases, claims, evidence and objections instantly, with no connection - Shuffle to a random claim - Save any exhibit to come back to later - Share a claim, an exhibit or an objection as a link to its full write-up on the website, or copy it as text with its sources - Suggest an addition or a correction from inside the app, no account needed - Large text and screen readers supported WHO IT IS FOR Christians who want to know why they believe, skeptics who want the strongest version of the case rather than a caricature, students, pastors, teachers, and anyone in a conversation about faith who wants the sources at hand. No account. No ads. No tracking. Free. Found a mistake? Every claim, exhibit, source and objection has a link to suggest a correction. A reviewer reads every suggestion and emails you what happened to it.
