Catholic Doctrinal Concordance

Arranged by topic

Ignorance of scripture is ignorance of Christ
St. Jerome

 

About this book

This is a short doctrinal concordance of the Catholic faith. It is not by any means a complete concordance. The purpose of this booklet is to give people interested in Catholicism a quick reference for the most common items of the faith. Particularly in areas where Catholics and other religions disagree.

The Catechism of the Catholic Church has a much more extensive look into the subjects presented here, and people interested should look there as well.

Many people contributed suggestions over the past few years, and I would like to thank them for their kind suggestions.
