It comes with a complete index, footnotes and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do You Believe? A Catholic Layman’s View By: Nicholas Fuerst Nicholas Fuerst has previously published two short books: Thy Kingdom Come – My Life in God’s Kingdom, and Thy Will Be Done – Three Principles for Godly Living. As a lifelong Catholic Christian, Dr. Fuerst has held firmly to his faith and diligently pursued a deepening degree of knowledge, understanding, and experiences of his religious convictions. Sharing the Christian faith with others now propels him through the later years of his life. Being born and raised in Rochester, New York, he obtained his higher education in Buffalo, NY. He then trained in Family Medicine in Washington, Pennsylvania, where he completed forty-five years of medical practice and raised his family. He now continues to maintain committed family connections with his wife Patricia, their three sons and daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren. A variety of parish and community Christian service activities provide ongoing opportunities for him to practice his faith. Dr. Fuerst’s life’s perspective has convinced him of God’s ever-present love and guidance. He has always hoped he would be part of God’s blessings to others, and that one day eternal life with our Father in Heaven would be available to him, as well as to all of those whom God has placed in his life.
Download or read book Debunking Misconceptions about Catholicism written by J. M. Alvarez and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-26 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seeking knowledge, we use our minds, but in seeking the true meaning of our lives, we must use our hearts. There are many books that defend the Catholic faith but most are ineffective in conveying God's very simple message to the ordinary Catholic layman. Most members of the Catholic laity find catechisms complicated and hard to understand. Other Christian denominations are very aggressive in promoting their own doctrines and beliefs, challenging what most Catholics traditionally believe in. Recent surveys purportedly saying that many Catholics no longer want to go to church got it all extremely wrong! A Catholic knows that the beautiful center of his Christian life is receiving Jesus during the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist which Jesus Himself instituted, so how can he say that he no longer wants to go to the Sunday Mass? This book will debunk misconceptions of Catholics wrongly perceived as idol worshipers or celebrators of pagan traditions. It will try to answer in very simple layman's terms the following controversial questions that even a fifth grader will understand: -Are there places called heaven, hell and purgatory? -Was Peter really the first Pope? -Why are there too many Hail Marys in the Holy Rosary? -The most Joyful Mystery: Was Jesus born on December 25? -Is Mary the Mother of God? -Can you find Darwin's missing links in the Bible? -When will be the end of the world? -How can we love our enemies? How did Santa Claus get into the Christmas picture? -Did God create other universes? -What's the missing link of all missing links? -Holy Trinity: How can The Father, Son and Holy Spirit be one? -How powerful are prayers? -How did the Church end up in Rome? -Can science prove that God exists? -Why are people afraid to confess their sins? -Why did the Crusades fail? -Do miracles really happen? -Can God hear our prayers at the same time? -What is the true meaning of love? -Is abortion murder? -Were the Three Kings really kings? -Was the Cross just a vertical stake or with a cross-beam? All the answers to these intriguing questions are simply explained using passages taken from the Holy Bible.

Book excerpt: If you're a sports fan, you know that professional sports teams play in leagues. Examples include the AL and the NL for baseball, the NFL and CFL for football, and the NHL for hockey, to name a few. Any team wanting to play in a league must agree to abide by all of its rules, and no team can change any rule without the entire league's approval. Teams that refuse to abide by the league's rules get kicked out. It's that simple. This also applies to God's "league" or family. God has shared His rules and standards in His Word, the Bible, to show how to be a Christian and abide in Him. I will endeavor to show in this book how Roman Catholicism has not and does not abide by God's book of rules....

This book was released on 2009-11-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author Constantine C. Kliora writes a highly enlightening book about moral issues entitled "Catholics, Non-Catholics and Non-Catholic Catholics". And just as the title indicates by using the prefix "Non", it is a book of contrariness. It reasonably opposes non-Catholic ideas that unreasonably oppose Catholic ideas. Kliora hopes that the book will confirm the beliefs of orthodox Catholics and contribute to changing the mental attitude of the "Non-Catholic Catholics" He wishes to inform both types, the real Catholics and the so-called Catholics, about the terrible goings-on that are occuring in our Catholic Church in America. Delve into this intriguing yet illuminating read.

Download or read book Pastoral Care written by Pope Gregory I and published by e-artnow. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral Care, or The Book of the Pastoral Rule, is a treatise on the responsibilities of the clergy written by Pope Gregory I in which he contrasted the role of bishops as pastors of their flock with their position as nobles of the church: the definitive statement of the nature of the episcopal office. Gregory enjoined parish priests to possess strict personal, intellectual and moral standards which were considered, in certain quarters, to be unrealistic and beyond ordinary capacities. The influence of the book, however, was vast and became one of the most influential works on the topic ever written. It was translated and distributed to every bishop within the Byzantine Empire.

Download or read book What Do Catholics Believe written by Léonie Caldecott and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church is by far the largest Christian denomination and the largest organized body of any world religion. Well over a billion people - or over one-sixth of the world's population - belong to the Roman Catholic Church. But what do Catholics actually believe? While not neglecting those aspects of the faith which all Christians share, Léonie Caldecott's volume in the What Do We Believe? series pays particular attention to those aspects of the faith which make Catholicism distinctive. She emphasizes the importance to Catholics of a sense of the history of their Church (in both its positive and negative aspects) traceable back to St Peter, the first Pope, and the central role of the Papacy ever since.But more important still is the sacrament of Mass: the sharing in the humanity of God incarnate, the participation - through an act as simple as eating - in his divinity. The book also explains such aspects of the faith as the Holy Spirit, the importance of Mary and other saints, the doctrine of Papal Infallibility, and looks at the challenges the faith has to confront in the twenty-first century.
Download or read book Why We re Catholic written by Trent Horn and published by Catholic Answers Press. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number-one question Catholics get asked and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live? Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his Catholic faith. Some didn't believe in God, or even in the existence of truth. Others said they were spiritual but didn't think you needed religion to be happy. Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel. And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief and brings us joy" --
