Verbum is for Catholics

I use Verbum and love it. It is great. However, when I open the 'store' and search, the majority of the resources are protestant and that is not why I'm with Verbum.

Is there a filter option to get Catholic resources? I can't find it. If not, VERBUM/LOGOS, please add it. It just makes things so difficult.

    You're on the web app I assume. My impression is the mobile Verbum store is more Catholic .,. I wonder why.

    Hi Joe and welcome to the forums which are here for all Christian denominations and even those who just want to explore the software.

    If you are more interested in some resources than you are in others then 'Prioritising' your library should be an urgent task. Remember though that many of the reference works, and most Logos resources are reference works, come more from an analytical background than they do from a particular theological bent.

    'Prioritisation' will help you bring those resources with a 'Roman Catholic' (I assume you misused the term in your post) leaning to the fore.

    Mike, Mike, first you spell "prioritization" like a Brit causing it to have a distracting wavy red misspelling line when I quote it and then you refer to "Roman Catholics" as if it were what Catholics call themselves. Catholics are much broader than the Roman rite so it is not what Catholic themselves use. It is what others call us. (Clearly there are too few posts that actually require my attention in the forums this morning. [:D])

    Hold the line Mike, we need to prioritise appropriate standard here on our favourite forum

    The OP asked specifically about the store, and not the user library. Are we confusing "library" with "store"? I didn't realize you could prioritize resources you didn't own, or that it had anything to do with the store.

    However, when I open the 'store' and search,

    Are you opening verbum.com? It is more Catholic heavy than Logos. Furthermore, when you are browsing books, the facets on the left side allow you to select "Catholic" as the Christian group.

    It does seem to be a problem that our neighbours prioritised altering the spelling of the English language but still persist in calling it English.

    Just because our ex-colonial cousins call it 'English' doesn't make it so.

    "Roman Catholics" as if it were what Catholics call themselves. Catholics are much broader than the Roman rite so it is not what Catholic themselves use. It is what others call us.

    I made my point above.

    I am assuming, based on the description of his behavior and the forum he's posting in, that he's using the store inside the app itself. As far as I can tell, there is no way to access denominational tags affiliated with web product pages in the app store. But I might be wrong (and would like to be wrong in this case!)
