## Description

iPieta is a comprehensive Catholic library for prayer, doctrine, and liturgy. It includes Bible versions (Douay-Rheims and Clementine Vulgate), the Baltimore Catechisms, and the Roman Catechism, plus both Ordinary and Extraordinary liturgical calendars with daily Gospel and readings. The collection also features devotions and prayers, authors such as St. Louis Marie de Montfort, St. Teresa of Jesus, St. John of the Cross, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis de Sales, and St. Jean-Marie Vianney, as well as Papal encyclicals, Conciliar documents, and Fathers of the Church.

Beyond the texts, iPieta offers practical study tools—search, history, bookmarks, and highlights—with multi-language displays and free downloadable audio for many prayers and scriptures. It supports offline access and cross-version viewing to enhance study and devotion.
