Copyright

“Freely ye have received, freely give.” — Matthew 10:8 (Why KJV?)

We’ve argued the Church should share Her teachings, documents, and texts under an open license that protects their integrity without fees or permission requests. So everything that reCatholic creates is under a similar license. Anyone is free to copy and share our work for any purpose, as long as they remain with their original words and is credited to reCatholic. This means you don’t need to ask permission first. However, this license prohibits translations.
