doxaweb.com is a site designed to provide hyperlinks for the new evangelization envisioned by pope john paul ii. launched in 2001, the site began as a simple web page featuring recent documents of the catholic church in an attractive, printable format for study purposes. it then began to serve up streaming audio for half-hour television shows produced by catholic parents online. in 2003, a blogspot was added. in the summer of 2005, the site expanded to include doxapod audio, a series of audio podcasts on topics related to the family and the new evangelization.
an essay by c.s. lewis, the weight of glory, was the inspiration for this site. the name of the site is rooted in the word doxa, which is latin for praise, glory, honor. the intention of the site is to glorify the Creator by producing content at the service of the human person and his call to beatitude.
