Good Source for Basic Information on the Catholic Church

Hi. The other day I was searching for a document that came out of a Lutheran-Catholic dialogue on "justification by faith." It was a terrifically important dialogue because resulted in agreement between Lutherans and Catholics on the most important point at issue when Lutherans and Catholics split 500 years ago. I found the document in a couple of different places. One is http://archive.elca.org/ecumenical/ecumenicaldialogue/romancatholic/jddj/index.html
and another is http://www.ewtn.com/library/CURIA/pccujnt4.htm.

But while poking around on its website I found that the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has produced a wonderful video aimed at explaining to Lutherans what the Roman Catholic Church is all about. It is remarkably accurate and well-done. So if you would like to help a friend learn about the Catholic faith and would like an "unbiased" source of information, you've got it. It's at http://archive.elca.org/mosaic/RomanCatholic/index.html.
