What I really need is information on the Catholic faith that isn't sooo dry or over my head. When I joined the Church over 20 years ago there wasn't alot of information really. Even now my son's eighth grade CCD class didn't teach doctrine. They spent the whole year teaching sex. Really. Is there a Catholism 101 book out there that you recommend. Again, thank you for the teaching you've given me on your site.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
