An Index of articles, from both scholarly and popular Catholic journals and book chapters, all dealing with Catholicism in some way. Great for Catholic theology, practice and history.

While not only about religion, this database is a great interdisciplinary tool indexing over 3,200 journals. I find it especially good for topics of mythology and for religions besides Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
