Download or read book What Every Catholic Should Know written by A. J. Gary and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-08-21 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is God a Catholic? What does He have to say about the sacraments of penance, the Eucharist, and baptism? How does God see the Blessed Mother and the Pope? What Every Catholic Should Know answers these questions and more using the Scriptures. The Catholic Church teaches countless doctrines regarding many important spiritual matters. But the complex teachings of the church leave many Catholics wondering what to believe. In many cases they find themselves going through the rituals with an indifferent attitude. This apathy leads many parishioners unfulfilled spiritually and unsure of their standing with God. Using the Bible as the single source of truth, A. J. Gary offers simple explanations and inspiring insight into what every Catholic should know to be true. Each chapter focuses on a specific belief taught by the church and applies facts from God’s Word to address it. Catholicism declares that the Bible is truly the Word of God and cannot err. With this in mind, using an easy-to-understand approach, What Every Catholic Should Know compares Catholic doctrine with biblical facts and establishes some eye-opening information.

Each of the 100 topics is easy to read and distilled into bite-sized portions. Through cross-referencing, the book also shows how the topics are interrelated.
