There are not over a hundred people...
who hate the Roman Catholic Church. 
There are millions, however, 
who hate what they wrongly 
believe to be the Catholic Church."
- Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

"The truth is 
not always the "same as the majority decision." 
Pope John Paul II

What does it truly mean to be a Catholic?

"Why I am a Catholic" 
by Gilbert Keith Chesterton
(famed English writer)

The difficulty of explaining
  'why I am a Catholic'
  is that there are
  ten thousand reasons 
all amounting to one reason:
  that Catholicism is true." 

Quote and picture both from 1926. Chesterton joined the Catholic faith in 1922.

"Is one religion as good as another? 
Is one horse in the Derby as good as another?"

WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN IDEAL???

This page's main goal is to try and bring out the truth of Catholicism to all peoples, everywhere. We are not saying that what we believe is what you MUST believe, but we do say that what we believe is what Christ has handed to us, the Church.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH AND CONVERSION
By G. K. Chesterton

In the world today, we find it hard to believe in anything solid. There is one thing we can believe in completely, and that is God. Since we believe in him, we can boldly proclaim:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty. Creator of Heaven and earth.;
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son. our Lord.
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried. He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father:
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church,
the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Amen.

to see a site by a young Malaysian Catholic. It has a very well-thought out structure. This site is in no way affiliated with us, but offers good insights. 


  
Never, ever be afraid of coming to Jesus truly present in the Holy Eucharist and especially come during adoration! He said, 'I AM the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE!'
