What Catholics Believe
The authors give, in brief and simple form, a summary of the fundamental teachings of the Catholic Church, and of the fruits of the faith contained in the teachings.
The first part, The Faith of the Christian, outlines the basic teachings as embodied in the Apostles Creed, followed by chapters on the Seven Sacraments and the Liturgical Year. The second part, entitled The Life of the Christian, is concerned with the fruits of faith, treats Christian virtues.
No similar book covers so much ground, in such simple terms, in one brief work. What Catholics Believe was written before the liturgical changes implemented by the Second Vatican Council, but its theology and anthropology remain as relevant today as they did a half-century ago, and its impact is all the more startling for the clear, direct, orthodox approach it takes. This edition adds explanatory notes that cross-reference the text with contemporary rubrics for the benefit of modern readers.

Praise for this book
"This is not an argumentative book, not a work of controversy, not even, strictly speaking, a 'theological' study. It is rather a prolonged professions of Faith, fitted with the spiritually moving quality of the Athanasian or the Nicene Creed and the simple directness of the Sermon on the Mount. In their simple exposition of Catholic belief, the authors have written a deeply moving book.... "One cannot divorce faith from life without doing violence to both. And it is for this reason that the second half of this book, in which the authors deal with the Life of the Catholic, is as important as the first half, in which they state the Faith of the Catholic."This is a simply beautiful and beautifully simple work."
