Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, offers a quick synopsis of the essential contents of the faith as promulgated in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
Delving into Sacred Scripture and writings from the early Church fathers, Benedict XVI highlights each of the Twelve, along with Saint Paul and select men and women who were coworkers of the Apostles. By studying the origins of the Church, we see that the Apostles are the foundation of the community of faith, hope, and charity that involves the entire people of God.
From the earliest days of the Church through modern times, women have played a unique and critical role in the story of Christianity. In each chapter of Holy Women, derived from catechesis given during his weekly general audiences from September 2010 to April 2011, Pope Benedict XVI expertly and thoughtfully explores the life stories and writings of seventeen holy women. These models of prayer, faith, and good works will help you gain a fuller understanding of Church history and serve as guides on your faith journey.
