    1. The listing for the Subject “Marriage (Matrimony)” in the Catholic Topical Index (CTI) under Church Teaching, Papal Encyclicals omit both Leo XIII, Arcanum, 1880, and Pius XI, Casti connubii, 1930, both “On Christian Marriage”. When will this omission of Papal Teaching (Magisterium) be remediated by inclusion? Pax Christi

    2. How is it that the Catholic Topical Index has NOTHING on Redemptive Suffering (Acts 14:22; Heb 12:7, 11; Ps 119:67,71; Isa 38:17; Jn 15:2; 1Pe 1:6-7; 2Co 4:10; Col 1:24 See also Ps 126:5-6; 1Co 4:9-13; 2Co 1:3-5; Gal 4:19; Php 3:18; Col 2:1; 2Ti 1:11-12; 1Pe 4:19; Ro 5:3-4; Heb 5:8; Jas 1:3, etc.)? My Verbum Library has 183 references in 162 resources in 128 articles. The much-vaunted Factbook has 36 entries. Redemptive Suffering is a doctrine exhorted by Saint after Saint, Pope after Pope. But the CTI acts like its just not there, not Catholic. Pax Christi
