Catholic and Christian

I am Catholic. I am Christian. To be completely one, I feel a person has to be the other as well. I am tired of hearing from some of the various other "Christian" groups that the Catholic Church teaches a false gospel, especially when these same people rely on misinformation, a denial of documented history and simple feels-right emotion to make their point. Sure, it would be just great if all we had to do to reach heaven was say the sinners prayer once, but then again, that does not seem to follow the advice we have been given to work out our faith with "fear and trembling" (Phil 2:12)

Here is my best explanation of the Eucharist. This is the key to understanding Catholicism, the rest falls into place once a person figures out this one. I've inculded some links to other locations as well, so you can get some other angles to correct understanding about Communion as understood for the first 1600 years of Christianity.

Where we got the Bible, answers to some common Protestant or non-Catholic questions, and a challenge of my own: Why is almost every Christian group but the Catholics using an Old Testament selection of books designed to be anti-Christian?

Next up: Mary and the Saints The Catholic line on: Why we have them, What we do with them, and What we have never believed about them.

Then comes an explanation of the office of the Papacy, and sopme info about John Paul II, the successor to Peter.
