Why Do Catholics…?

“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.”
— Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Many people hold misconceptions about what they think the Catholic Church is. They can become anti-Catholic, leave the Catholic Church for a denominational church, or leave Christianity altogether, often without truly knowing what the Church teaches or why. Much of what they’ve heard is likely based on distortions, half-truths, or outright falsehoods.

Our mission is to cut through the confusion and provide clear, faithful, and honest answers to both common and uncommon questions about Catholicism. Our responses are grounded in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the historical facts dating back to the earliest Christians.

If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do Catholics do that?”, you’re in the right place. We invite you to explore, ask questions, and discover the truth about the Church Christ Himself founded.
