The Truth about the Catholic Church - Apologetics

Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calummy against you because of me. Be glad and rejoice, for your reward will be great in heaven; this is how they persecuted the prophets before you. (Matthew 5:11-12)

"The reason why the Catholic Church is attacked so vehemently by the media and others, is because She is the One True Church. Satan doesn't waste his time with false churches."

While surfing the Web for sites to add to the "Links" page I often come upon sites that contain "mis-information" (I use that term out of charity) about the Catholic Church. They attack the Sacraments, the Pope and his office, and various other Catholic beliefs and practices. Often these sites mis-quote bible verses to back up their claims. I have yet to figure out why other so-called Christians seem to think their life calling is to defame the Catholic Church. They don't attack any other denomination or faith, only Catholics. If the Catholic Church was really like what these sites say very few people would belong to it, and you'd think the hundreds of millions of Catholic's in the world today, as well as the millions more who join it every year, would indicate to the people who created those anti-Catholic web sites that maybe they are missing something. Anyway, there are many good sites on the Web that defend the Catholic faith, but I felt I needed to do my part, thus this page was born. In it you will find various topics that I have found ridiculed at these un-Christian, anti-Catholic sites, and the TRUE Catholic belief and the reasons we believe it. I will use various source materials, which will be listed at the end of each topic.
