Best Of What We Believe Why We Believe It Volume 2

An Independently Published Title

Joe Sixpack-The Every Catholic Guy is quickly becoming the “light of the laity” throughout the United States. Armed with divinely revealed truth, he is helping lay people navigate the tumultuous waters of a Church in turmoil. See what prelates and priests are saying!

A gravely defective catechesis which marked the life of the Church in the years following the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, though not because of the Council , contributed to the loss of faith, the lack of a devotional life and left the subsequent generations devoid of a concrete way to know the Catholic faith and live it.

The pontificate of Pope Saint John Paul II may be rightly described as a tireless call to recognize the Church’s challenge to be faithful to her divinely-given mission in a totally secularized society and to respond to the challenge by means of a new evangelization. A new evangelization consists in teaching the faith through preaching, catechesis and all forms of Catholic education, celebrating the faith in the Sacraments and in their extension by means of prayer and devotion, and living the faith by the practice of the virtues-all as if for the first time, that is, with the engagement and energy of the first disciples and of the first missionaries to our native place.

A new aid to assist the faithful in knowing and living the faith has been developed by “Joe Sixpack” with the weekly bulletin insert What We Believe … Why We Believe It. Each issue of the insert is a thumbnail lesson in the Catholic faith that is attractive to parishioners, easy to understand, and faithful in every way to the Magisterium.
