At the same time our search engine<br \/>\neliminates sites and web pages containing adult themed and explicit<br \/>\nsexual content from web search results.<\/p>\n<p>The site is not<br \/>\nassociated or affiliated with Google.com, we work closely with Google<br \/>\nto help ensure that the ads are not objectionable in nature, however,<br \/>\nsome of the results and ads that are displayed may not be in line<br \/>\nwith Catholic doctrine and we do not endorse of any of the results or<br \/>\nads displayed on Cathoogle.<\/p>\n<p>If you looked up something like contraception or aborion using<br \/>\nCathoogle you get quite different results as the top hits weighted<br \/>\ntowards orthodox Catholic sites for the most part.\n<\/p>\n<p>As you can imagine this search service does not sit to well with<br \/>\nsome Catholics of a progressive persuasion.

That you have to go through page after page of results to find answers that match what you want?<\/p>\n<p>If so then liberalcatholicgoogle.com is the site for you!<\/p>\n<p>Our specialized search algorithm will give you the results you want without a bunch of search chaff. No more will you find such sites as catholic.com, Catholic Encyclopedia, etch cluttering up your search results. Though one problem is that even among us progressive Catholics there are people who accept one so-called &quot;dogma&quot; and not another. When we pick and choose what we accept from the hierarchical Church it is not surprising that others pick and choose a different set. But we are a big tent Church and to accommodate this LiberalCatholicGoogle will further filter your search results based on your theological prospective.<\/p>\n<p>When you go to our configuration page you will see a selection of check boxes such as for example:<\/p>\n<p>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nAbortion<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox2\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nContraception<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox10\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nDivorce<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox3\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nHomosexual Acts<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox9\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nHomosexual Marriage<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox6\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nJesus is God<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox7\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nJesus is one of many paths<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox8\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nMagisterium<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox11\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nObedience<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox4\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nPapal Infallibility<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox12\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nPersonal Infallibility<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox5\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Ordination<\/p>\n<p>Just check off the items that best match what you accept.<\/p>\n<p>Or you can just check off<\/p>\n<p>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox13\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\nNational Catholic Reporter Reader<\/p>\n<p>And the checkmarks will be checked accordingly.<\/p>\n<p> After then after answering a short questionnaire you&#8217;re off to search results matched perfectly to what you already believe!<\/p>\n<p>No more will you be bothered with pesky Vatican documents such as Humanae Vitae or annoying quotes from the Church Fathers in your search results. You will find plenty of content from the National Catholic Reporter, Commonweal, America, and other great Catholic sources such as the New York Times and the Washington Post.<\/p>\n<p>Now sometimes you actually want something from a source such as the Vatican or Scripture. In these cases simply checkmark<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox52\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\n<strong>Vatican Safe Search<\/strong>  and\/or<br \/>\n<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"checkbox522\" value=\"checkbox\"><br \/>\n<strong>Scripture Safe Search<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>With <strong>Vatican Safe Search<\/strong> on &#8211; we have a special search algorithm first developed for Cherie Blair. The search will go through Vatican documents using the specialized search pick also known as the Cherie pick to return passages of documents that best match your search preferences and search terms. The Cherie pick also works perfectly wellwith <strong>Scripture Safe Search<\/strong> &#8211; on. You will be sure to get scripture such as&quot;judge not&#8217; without results such as &quot;go and sin no more&quot; or mean passages from homophobic St Paul. Within seconds you will have select passages to prove to other Catholics whatever you want!<\/p>\n<p>Not convinced yet?
