Many Catholics today--even those who attend Mass regularly--are confused about the Church's teaching on moral issues like abortion, premarital sex, and homosexuality. In an age where even some Catholic theologians fail to uphold Church teaching in areas like premarital sex and the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharis, The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a beacon on stormy seas.
The critical issue is this: How can Catholics in the pew understand and apply this massive new Catechism that is meant to guide them in the twenty-first century? Pope John Paul II clearly intends it to be used by all the members of the Church and not simply as a resource for theologians and catechists. But how can lay Catholics begin the task of absorbing the message of this important work?
In The Faith Father Hardon offers a popular guide, written in question-and-answer format, that provides a road map for those who want to fully embrace the teachings of the Catholic Church. In concise and clear language Father Hardon explains the 'what,' the 'why', and the 'how' of the Catechism for the popular reader: what is's about, why it's important, and how to use it. Interested lay Catholics, pastors, parents, and catechists will find that Father Hardon's The Faith is a sure guide to help them understand and apply their faith.
