Catholics are not Christians. They worship Mary. They do whatever
the pope says. They cannot divorce. They eat fish on Fridays. These
flawed but common statements reflect a combined ignorance of and
fascination with Catholicism and the Catholic Church. Catholicism
Today: An Introduction to the Contemporary Catholic Church aims to
familiarize its readers with contemporary Catholicism. The book is
designed to address common misconceptions and frequently-asked
questions regarding the Church, its teachings, and the lived
experience of Catholics in modern societies worldwide. Opening with
a concise historical overview of Christianity in general and
Catholicism in particular, the text explores the core beliefs and
rituals that define Catholicism in practice, the organization of
the Church and the Catholic calendar, as well as the broad question
of what it means to be Catholic in a variety of cultural contexts.
The book ends with a discussion of the challenges facing the Church
both now and in the coming decades. Also included are two short
appendices on Eastern Catholicism and Catholicism in the United
States.
