by Vincent J. Heaton Jr. (Author)
The Why's? of Catholicism is a great resource for all those looking to better understand the Catholic Church's doctrines, teachings, and positions across a broad spectrum of topics and issues, in a clear, credible, straight forward and understandable manner. While a direct result of researching and responding to hundreds of questions raised by young adults preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation, over a period of more than three decades, this is a great resource, for teenagers to adults, and for those at all stages of their faith journey. This book provides in-depth, but relatable and compelling answers, to the most frequently asked questions about Catholic Church teaching, drawing heavily from the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and many other Catholic and Christian sources, with pointers to additional resources to help the reader easily find even more in-depth information. This is a book that should be on every parent's, catechist's, and adult formation director's shelf and is ideal for those who are curious about the Catholic faith, those going through any faith formation process, and those cradle Catholics who want to better understand their faith and The Whys behind what the Catholic Church professes.
