In today’s tech-savvy and sometimes short-attention-span world, coming up with a Tweetable answer would be tough. On top of that, many people—even those raised in the Catholic faith—never benefited from a solid understanding of the Christian faith.
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen once said, “There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be.”
G.K. Chesterton once wrote “The difficulty in explaining 'why I am a Catholic' is that there are ten thousand reasons all amounting to one reason... that Catholicism is true.”
From Christ himself, through the 12 apostles and the earliest Christian community, the Catholic Church has for nearly 2,000 years stretched across the globe. Today more than a billion Catholics celebrate Mass in every country of the world.
