For many years America has been a trusted educational resource for high school teachers, college professors and directors of religious education. As America enters its second century of publication, we hope today’s teachers and educators will continue to make use of the magazine in the classroom. Toward that end, we are happy to provide this list of articles from our pages on important Catholic topics, from Scripture and the sacraments to social justice and Catholic identity.
All articles below are FREE to all visitors to our Web site. If you would like to recommend a subject or article to add to the list, email webeditor@americamedia.org. For other free online content, check out our weekly podcasts and our dailyblogs.
