Structured around the four pillars of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, this guide presents the fundamentals of the Catholic faith in a helpful question-and-answer format. Does God exist? How should a Catholic prepare for confirmation? Are the beatitudes truly practical? Why do we not always obtain what we pray for? These and other questions are explored in this revised version, expanded to include the changes in the Roman Missal.
Whether you are learning the Faith, growing in your faith, or passing on your faith to others, this volume captures Catholic Church teaching in a concise and approachable way. Referencing current social issues—including contraception, abortion, euthanasia, capital punishment, evolution, terrorism, pornography, same-sex marriage, and divorce—Basic Catechism offers valuable teaching on challenges facing Catholics in today’s society.
