Do you have questions about what the Catholic Church teaches or believes? Perhaps you’re puzzled by Catholic devotional practices and rituals. Whether you’re a cradle Catholic or a convert, a person from another faith tradition or a spiritual seeker, we hope this new series will help to answer your questions.
At least once a week we’ll post a new entry on a topic related to the Catholic faith, such as the sacraments, the saints and the Church in the U.S. During Lent, which begins on March 9, we’ll feature articles on various Lenten practices.
Do you have a question you’d like us to consider? E-mail us at: marriage@usccb.org.
In the meantime, if you’d like to look up answers yourself, here are definitive sources for information about Catholic teaching:
- Catechism of the Catholic Church is an integrated presentation of the Catholic faith in its entirety.
- United States Catholic Catechism for Adults is an adaptation of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and is written specifically for Catholics of the United States.
- United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is the authoritative source for bishops’ pastoral letters, messages and other official documents.
- The Vatican website offers the texts of papal documents and addresses well as official texts from various Vatican offices.
