    Is Catholicism true? Or is it just made up? How can I explain the faith to my family or friends who no longer believe?

    In this mind-blowing series, Dr. Brant Pitre takes up the most commonly asked questions about the Catholic faith and provides clear and compelling biblical answers. He begins at the beginning--with the existence of God--and walks you step-by-step through the foundations of the faith.  Along the way, Dr. Pitre explains:

    Does God Exist? How can we know it?
    Is Jesus God? Did Jesus claim to be God? And why should we believe him?
    Peter and the Papacy?  Did Jesus establish the Catholic Church? What is the historical evidence?
    How Did We Get the Bible?  From where did the Bible come? Who decided which books got in and which didn't?
    Is the Eucharist Jesus’ Real Presence? What does the Bible teach about Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist?
    Why Confess to a Priest? Did Jesus arrange for us to confess our sins to a priest of the new covenant?
    Do Catholics Worship Mary? What does the Bible teach about her?
    Purgatory and Prayers for the Dead? Where is Purgatory in the Bible? Why do Catholics pray for the dead?

    If you've ever been asked any of these questions but weren't quite sure how to answer -- or if you know someone who has left the Church and no longer believes, then buckle up: this Bible study is for you. In it, you'll discover how just reasonable, biblical, and beautiful the Catholic faith really is.

Why we believe

This is a fantastic program for cradle Catholics and OCIA programs! An in-depth discussion of what it means to be a Catholic. Should be shown in RE programs too. The study guide is great. It has discussion questions for small groups to use. It is in a pdf format and is not paginated at lesson breaks. That would be an improvement. I’m using it with Why we worship! Both great. Dr Pitre uses Old and New Testament, the Catechism AND Church Fathers as references! Also we love his humor! Tell him our group laughs at his jokes.

“Why We Believe” is great!

I facilitated this series at our previous parish, which was very well received. Now, I’m offering it at our new parish this fall, and following it with “Why We Worship” in the spring. Dr Pitre is great as always and Catholic Productions’ service is impeccable! Thank you so much!
