Written by the chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee on Education, this indispensable book illuminates the riches of the Catholic Church, guiding readers -- whether recent converts or lifelong Catholics -- to a deeper understanding and appreciation of all the Church has to offer in a catechism.

In concise, easy-to-understand language, Bishop Wuerl explains what a catechism is, how it is written, and what it is for. Addressing the issues that lie at the heart of Catholicism, he elucidates the role of the bishops, the words of the sacred scriptures, the public life of Jesus, Mary's place and significance within Church teachings, and many other aspects of faith and dogma. His insights, at once articulate and inspiring, provide authoritative answers to the questions "What do we believe?" and "Why do we believe that?"

The demand for a book of explication to read alongside a catechism has been building for many years. The Catholic Way fills this niche to perfection; containing both an imprimatur and a nihil obstat, it can be used with confidence by all Catholics. For the faithful and the questioning, for believers and seekers, The Catholic Way will stand as the definitive book on the meaning and power of the Church's beliefs and teachings.
