Catholicism Explained: A Global Beginner’s Guide to the Mass, the Sacraments, and Life in the Catholic Church: 3 (Christianity Explained) - Softcover
Book 3 of 4: Christianity Explained
Synopsis
What actually happens at a Catholic Mass, and why does the entire Catholic Church revolve around the Eucharist? For a first-time visitor, Catholic worship can feel both beautiful and confusing. People stand, kneel, recite ancient prayers, honor Mary and the saints, confess sins to priests, and approach Communion as though something far greater than a symbol is taking place. Catholicism Explained begins where most beginner’s guides should: inside the Mass. From that starting point, Paul Abeto leads readers through the beliefs, practices, history, authority, moral vision, diversity, failures, and spiritual life of the Catholic Church. Inside this accessible global guide, you will discover:
- what Catholics believe happens during the Mass and the Eucharist;
- why Catholicism uses physical signs such as water, oil, bread, wine, relics, statues, and sacred buildings;
- how Scripture, Tradition, bishops, councils, and the pope relate to one another;
- what Catholics teach about grace, salvation, sin, faith, and works;
- why Catholics honor Mary and ask the saints to pray for them;
- how confession, purgatory, indulgences, and prayer for the dead fit together;
- how Catholic moral and social teaching understands freedom, the body, work, justice, family, and human dignity;
- why the Catholic Church includes both Latin and Eastern Catholic traditions;
- what genuinely separates Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and Protestants;
- how Catholics confront abuse, institutional failure, disagreement, and the need for reform;
- what becoming Catholic involves, and when an honest seeker should move forward or wait.
