The Catholic faith is meant to lead us somewhere — to union with God and eternal life. What Catholics Believe — and Why explores the great truths of the faith with that destination in mind. Through book studies, Scripture, the Catechism, encyclicals and timely topics, we go beyond the surface to understand what the Church teaches, why it teaches it, and how it all fits together. Our first series is based on Frank Sheed’s classic book, Theology and Sanity.
