“We cannot accept that salt should become tasteless or the light be kept hidden (cf. Mt 5:13-16). The people of today can still experience the need to go to the well, like the Samaritan woman, in order to hear Jesus, who invites us to believe in him and to draw upon the source of living water welling up within him (cf. Jn 4:14). We must rediscover a taste for feeding ourselves on the word of God...Indeed, the teaching of Jesus still resounds in our day with the same power."
“In reading the Catechism of the Catholic Church we can perceive the wonderful unity of the mystery of God, his saving will, as well as the central place of Jesus Christ... He is the source of our faith, the model of Christian conduct, and the Teacher of our prayer. The Catechism of the Catholic Church…is a statement of the Church’s faith, attested to or illumined by Sacred Scripture, the Apostolic Tradition, and the Church’s Magisterium. I declare it to be a sure norm for teaching the faith…. May it serve the renewal to which the Holy Spirit ceaselessly calls the Church of God, the Body of Christ, on her pilgrimage to the undiminished light of the Kingdom!”

Pillars: A Journey through the Catechism
by Sean Innerst, D.Th. is the first systematic guide to this most amazing book.
Not just how to be Catholic…but why to be Catholic!
"God, are you there?" In every age the providential care of God is often doubted. Aggressive ideologies, competing religions, and pervasive, relentless skepticism confronts every generation. The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches you how to respond, vibrantly and with confidence detailing why being Catholic not only makes sense, but that it is the only way to find happiness in this life and in the next. The Catechism unpacks Christianity, taking the Bible, the Mass, the sacraments, sacred tradition, and the lives of the saints and explains how together they serve as our guide to live and pray as God intended his children to…as Catholics.
Pillars has been granted the Imprimatur.
