Why I Believe In the Beauty & Truth of the Catholic Faith

With over 43,000 Christian denominations, have you ever wondered which one truly represents the Church established by Jesus? Why I Believe in the Beauty and Truth of the Catholic Faith takes you on a journey through the core doctrines of Catholicism—faithfully handed down from the Apostles to the 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide today. In this book, the Catholic Church is contrasted with other man-made churches such as Lutheranism, Anglicanism, Presbyterianism, Quakerism, Methodism, Unitarianism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Mormonism, and many more. Explore the origins of these denominations, uncovering the stories behind their founders, including one who was antisemitic, another who couldn’t obtain an annulment, and the first to teach that the Last Supper was only a symbolic remembrance, rather than the real presence of Jesus’ body and blood. Learn why Catholic Bibles differ from Protestant Bibles and dive into the history of the Bible’s creation, including the roles various religions played in shaping the biblical canon and the reasons behind the different versions of the Bible. Delve into profound truths about Jesus’ family, including why He did not have siblings, the actual number of wounds He sustained, and the true meaning behind the Eucharist as the body and blood of Christ. Discover why priests have the authority to hear confessions and absolve sins, and understand the significance of the term “in Persona Christi.” This book also invites you to experience firsthand accounts from visionaries and mystics who have encountered Purgatory, Hell, Heaven, and Satan. You’ll also learn about the fates of key biblical figures after Jesus’ Resurrection—such as the Apostles, the Blessed Mother, Pilate, Claudia Procula (Pilate’s wife), Caiaphas, Annas, Lazarus, Martha and Mary, Veronica, Mary Magdalene, Dismas (the good thief), Simon of Cyrene, Nicodemus, and Joseph of Arimathea.
