Course Number Two: 

In conjunction with Father Hardon’s Advanced home study course, the following resources are suggested. We hope you find them helpful and we welcome your suggestions for additional resources.

1. Check that you have made all the updates or changes in your books-especially the questions in your Workbook and Answer Tablet.

   Please excuse the length of the Advanced Course updates. It is long because a large number of courses were printed in 2005 and these must be used before a new version can be printed. Large numbers save printing costs but delay corrections. As you can understand, small apostolates must be frugal.

2. Modern Catholic Dictionary online.
3. Father Hardon articles and audio/video on TheRealPresence.org.
4. Be aware of the translation problems in some resources.
5. Supplemental Vocabulary Definitions. Read the extra definitions listed below to assist you in answering the questions. The definitions may also be helpful for use with the Basic Course.
6. Resources to read for each lesson. Listed below the supplemental vocabulary definitions are resources to read according to each lesson. The list is not an exhaustive one, but a place to start your research for the answers to questions. (These lists will be continually updated. Last update: August 2019)
