Learn About The Roman Catholic Church Easily!
The Roman Catholic Church is the Church of Jesus Christ. After the Fall, God prepared His creation for the Incarnation of His Divine Son and its Redemption by Jesus' Passion and Death. He rose from the dead to prove that all of the scriptures spoke of Him; that He is the Son of God, as foretold by Isaiah and Daniel. Jesus gave the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and Peter went to Rome. The Seat of Peter is in Rome to this day, it was his diocese. This is why our Church is called Roman. This is just a simple start; yet there is so much more that can be learned. This web page is a long web page with links to more Catholic information for your convenience. The Church teaches what Jesus Christ taught ever since He founded her; and she has taught it around the world without substantial change for 2000 years in spite of troubles. What was true then is true now and will always be true. She has preserved the history of the Church of Jesus Christ and its writings. The Pope even chose the holiest and most highly educated man of his time, St. Jerome, to organize the Holy Scriptures into what we now call the Catholic Bible. Even Martin Luther admitted that we would not have the Bible if it were not for the Catholic Church. The basic Catholic beliefs are covered by the Ten Commandments and the truths that Jesus taught in order for us to be able to keep those Ten Commandments and have eternal life. The Sacraments, which give us the grace necessary to keep the Faith; the Apostles' Creed, which teaches the Faith; the Catholic Rosary, which, after the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and its daily Bible readings, is the best way to keep the Faith; these and the other Catholic prayers, are covered by the first three Commandments. Marriage, education, family? Fourth Commandment. Abortion, euthanasia, war? Fifth Commandment. Forms of immorality? Sixth and Ninth Commandments. Theft of any sort, Communism, Socialism and other distributive -isms? Seventh and Tenth Commandments. Lies, freedom of speech? Eighth Commandment. Knowing the principles makes daily decisions easier. Have you learned the Ten Commandments? See links to other subjects below. Did you know that there is one thing necessary? It is that you must save your soul. Pray for the grace of final perseverance and then study how to obtain it. Learn the truth of the Catholic Religion, ask God for the Faith, and seek Baptism as Jesus Christ directed. Once you receive the sacraments you will have the graces necessary! Are you praying? The purpose of this site is to point you to concise and comprehensive Roman Catholic books that teach what the Roman Catholic Religion has always taught and to be a tiny part of the answer to your prayers. Be encouraged that it is easy to learn the basic beliefs of the Roman Catholic Religion! First, learn the Catholic Ten Commandments, then learn the Apostle's Creed; or vice versa. The rest follows as you ask more, or learn more, about each of the Ten Commandments and the Twelve Articles of the Apostles' Creed. Learn The Truths Of The Roman Catholic Religion EasilyEvery Roman Catholic catechism teaches the basic truths of the Roman Catholic Religion. Children? First Communion Catechism. Youth and adolescents? Confirmation Catechism and This Is The Faith. Adults? Saint Anne's Helper and other Catholic audio books, lives of the saints, and the Catechism of the Council of Trent (a very easy read). More? The Catechism Explained. Why do we have to specify Roman in our web searches? We need to be specific since there are many sites that offer a watered down version of the Faith as if they do not even want to use the term Catholic, much less Roman Catholic. There are also Anglicans who use the term Catholic and one must differentiate so as not to find a Protestant site or recommendation. The Roman Catholic Ten Commandments The Catholic Ten Commandments both tell us what to do and what not to do; the "tells" and the "forbids" of the First Communion catechism. Here you've just learned what to do and what not to do. Adults? Use The Catechism Explained for more detailed study. There really is a difference between the Protestant and the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments. The Apostles' Creed The Apostles' Creed tells us what we believe in the Catholic Religion. When asked "What do you believe?", a Catholic answers: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth...." Guess what? You've just learned about Creation, Heaven and Earth. The rest of the Apostles' Creed teaches about why Jesus came and what His promise is. The Roman Catholic Sacraments The Catholic Sacraments are the means by which we receive grace. The sacrament of Baptism is the first sacrament and it washes away Original Sin, makes us children of God and heirs of Heaven. The sacrament of the Holy Eucharist feeds us with the grace necessary to keep the Faith. The sacrament of Penance washes away our sins in the Blood of Jesus Christ. The sacrament of Confirmation makes us strong in the practice of the Faith. The sacrament of Matrimony gives each of us the grace necessary to persevere as a good spouse. For those who choose the better part, as St. Paul says, the sacrament of Holy Orders and the religious vows grant us those servants who will teach the Catholic Religion and will rule Jesus' Church. The sacrament of Extreme Unction grants us the strength necessary to die well, a most helpful grace! Count on the Catholic sacraments. All through life we have the help of the sacraments. Their grace is effective! Because of them you have the right before God to the help they confer. Now you have the help necessary to persevere in the Catholic Religion. Again, there are Protestant ceremonies that the Protestants do call sacraments. The Catholic Rosary The Catholic Rosary is our safest haven. Mary, Mediatrix of All Graces, promises that those who have a devotion to her Rosary will go to Heaven. Our own devotion while praying the daily Rosary is the main limitation. After the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass - the Rosary is the most indulgenced help and it is one of the most easily recognizable symbols of the Catholic Religion! We don't know of many Protestants who say the Rosary :-) The Roman Catholic Prayers The Catholic prayers communicate our thoughts to God and teach us as well! "Lex orandi, lex credendi." The law of prayer guides the law of faith and preserves it. More help in the Catholic Religion! Use it all day long. The Roman Catholic Bible The Catholic Bible tells us Creation's history through the first century. It starts: "In the beginning God created Heaven and Earth..." (Genesis 1:1) It ends with a description of the end: "Heaven and Earth shall pass away..." There are many rewrites, but the Catholic Bible has the whole Word of God in the most beautiful language. See it at this next link to get an idea of the beauty of your favorite Bible passages and to use as a Catholic Bible Online to use for research and cut/paste options. There are so many different books that call themselves Bibles that we wonder if anyone uses the term "paraphrase" anymore. The Roman Catholic Saints The Catholic saints walked the walk and talked the talk! They are our examples to follow in the Catholic Religion; from heroic child martyrs as in The Children Of The Kingdom to greats like Saint Patrick. Yes, there are lists of heroes for other religions that also use the name saint. The Roman Catholic prayers, Bible stories, stories of the saints, the corporal works of mercy, and the spiritual works of mercy (this site!) make final perseverance easy! Fill your day with the service of God and He will fill you with Eternal Happiness! Living the Roman Catholic Religion is what makes our own family happy, and we want the same for you and yours! Remember that the Faith is simple enough for the newborn to be Baptized and go to Heaven; and it is also more complex and full than even the great St. Thomas Aquinas could fathom! Remember with grateful tears that Jesus Christ died to save your soul and would have come for you if you were the only one who had fallen. He saw you in His Agony and from His Most Holy Cross! He deserves our love and He deserves to make the rules for the creatures He created for the glory of Heaven. Follow Him to Heaven the Way that He calls us all! Remember Dear Christian:You have but one soul to save,
One God to love and to serve,
One eternity to expect,
Death will come soon,
Judgment will follow,
And then,
Heaven or Hell forever!
