Why Be Catholic?
Author: Patrick Madrid
Publisher: Image
ISBN: 0307986446
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
The popular blogger and publisher of Envoy magazine offers 10 key reasons why he loves being Catholic (and you should too). Drawing heavily on poignant anecdotes from his own experience as a life-long Catholic born in 1960s, Madrid offers readers a way of looking at the Church--its members, teachings, customs, and history--from perspectives many may have never considered. Growing up Catholic during a time of great social and theological upheaval and transition, a time in which countless Catholics abandoned their religion in search of something else, Patrick Madrid learned a great deal about why people leave Catholicism and why others stay. This experience helped him gain many insights into what it is about the Catholic Church that some people reject, as well as those things that others treasure. Drawing upon Madrid's personal experiences, Why Be Catholic? offers a deeply personal, fact-based, rationale for why everyone should be Catholic or at least consider the Catholic Church in a new light.

Catholic Christianity
Author: Peter Kreeft
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681490706
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
For the first time in 400 years the Catholic Church has authorized an official universal catechism which instantly became an international best-seller, the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Using this official Catechism, the highly-regarded author and professor Peter Kreeft presents a complete compendium of all the major beliefs of Catholicism written in his readable and concise style. Since the Catechism of the Catholic Church was written for the express purpose of grounding and fostering catechisms based on it for local needs and ordinary readers, Kreeft does just that, offering a thorough summary of Catholic doctrine, morality, and worship in a popular format with less technical language. He presents a systematic, organic synthesis of the essential and fundamental Catholic teachings in the light of the Second Vatican Council and the whole of the Church's Tradition. This book is the most thorough, complete and popular catechetical summary of Catholic belief in print that is based on the universal Catechism.

Christian and Catholic

Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
Discover a Church-approved grace alone, through faith alone, approach to Catholicism in this witness from Dan Tarrant, the founder of Personally Catholic and ReEngaged Ministries who can also be seen on CatholicTV. When describing his relationship with God as a Catholic Dan says:"I believe I am saved by grace alone, through faith alone, apart from works. And I am a practicing Catholic. I attend Mass every Sunday. I go to Confession weekly. I carry the Rosary and the New Testament in my pocket. I pray the Hail Mary countless times a day. I am an Evangelical Christian. I am also a Catholic. Not sure such a thing is possible? Listen to my story."This book, Christian and Catholic, has received the Nihil obstat and Imprimatur of the Catholic Church which means that its radical message of unity with Evangelical Christians and unique approach to living one's Catholicism has been deemed to contain nothing opposed to the Catholic faith and been officially approved for publication by the Catholic Church after a thorough and formal review process. This signifies this book's full fidelity to the Catholic faith for you, the reader. Whether you are a Catholic who has had a powerful experience of Christ in Evangelical settings but wants to stay connected to the Catholic Sacramental life or you are an Evangelical who simply wants to know if Catholics really can be Christian, this book is for you! Written with a genuine love for both Catholic and Evangelical Christians, this book is not a list of arguments or theological treatises that would cause division, but a personal witness to a relationship with Christ that has been blessed by both communities of faith and been fashioned into a better instrument for Christ serving in the Catholic Church because of it.In the book, Dan writes: "This book is not a trap to make Catholics into Protestants or Protestants into Catholics. It's simply one person sharing his story of meeting Christ in both communities with the hope that it would help us be more one. Perhaps if you're Catholic, you'll see that God intends Evangelical Christians to be a blessing to you... Perhaps if you're an Evangelical Christian, you'll see that God intends Catholics to be a blessing to you... Finally, perhaps we'll all come to see that we're more one than we could have ever imagined and in that oneness give God a greater glory than we ever could have divided. That is certainly what I have discovered. Here's my story."

Pastoral Care
Author: Pope Gregory I
Publisher: e-artnow
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
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.

Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Drawing on his Roman Catholic background, personal interviews with Catholics and Evangelicals, and years of research, Chris Castaldo takes readers on a fascinating and practical exploration of the challenges and opportunities encountered by Catholics who become Evangelicals.

And, with humor and authenticity, he shares his own faith journey in order to help readers understand and work through their own.For those who are tired of scratching their head in confusion or frustration about how their Catholic background may influence their walk with Jesus, and why on earth their Catholic family believes they’ve gone off the deep end, Holy Ground offers vast insight and practical help. More than providing historical perspective, theological reflection, and practical lessons, it shows readers how to emulate the grace and truth of Jesus Christ in relating to the Catholic people whom they love.

Christian Spirituality in the Catholic Tradition

Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This history not only serves to acquaint us with the origins and development of Christian spirituality, but, equally importantly in the author's view, projects into our contemporary world the lives and teachings of men and women who have reached a high degree of sanctity through the ages. His study is Catholic in both senses of the word. He has concentrated his attention on the history of spirituality in the Roman Catholic Church; and he has taken a comprehensive view of the full range of forms of that Catholic tradition, including -- so that we can learn from the mistakes of the past -- the heterodox tendencies and movements that have arisen from time to time.
