Increasingly, Catholics are asking questions about their faith. In our pluralistic, secular society many are confused about what the Church really teaches, what Catholics should believe, and how they should behave in their daily lives. For more than 25 years, many Catholics have turned to the "Dear Padre" column in the pages of their Sunday bulletins, where each week a priest columnist addresses a particular issue and presents the Catholic teaching or perspective on these subjects. Father Thomas M. Santa has compiled these columns into a book of 16 sections which cover Advent and Christmas, Angels, the Bible, the Blessed Mother, Catholic Beliefs, Catholic Practices, Christian Living, the Church, Confession and Sin, the Eucharist/Mass, Faith, Jesus, the Last Days, Lent and Easter, Marriage and Family Life, and the Saints. Also included are a Glossary of Terms and Resources. Dear Padre: Questions Catholics Ask is a helpful guide to understanding and living the Catholic faith. It belongs in every Catholic home, school, and parish library. Book jacket.Santa, Thomas M. is the author of 'Dear Padre Questions Catholics Ask' with ISBN 9780764809873 and ISBN 0764809873.
