by Roy Peachey
Before I became a Catholic, I revelled in grey areas. I liked fuzziness. That is to say, I liked fuzziness when it came to religion because religious vagueness really got me off the hook. If I didn’t know what God was like or what he wanted from me then I could get on with life and never have to change my behaviour at all.
But I soon discovered that the Catholic faith is not vague. It claims that God had spoken in history and, what’s more, that he continues to guide the Church today. In a word, the Church claims that there is something called truth and that we can know what it is. The central question for Catholics is not “How does this idea make me feel?” but “Is this idea true?” And that causes all sorts of difficulties for anyone who likes fuzziness. If an idea is true, we can’t simply ignore it: we have to change our lives in response to it.
St John wrote a great deal about truth in his Gospel. One of the most inspiring of these comments came when Jesus said, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” (John 8: 31-32) The truth will make you free. We can be scared by the truth, but the truth of the matter is that if we search for the truth and live according to what is true then we will be truly free. Free to be ourselves. Free to be who God always wanted us to be.
So how do we discover the truth? First and foremost, we find the truth in Jesus Christ. At the heart of our Faith is a person, not an idea. A person who said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.” (John 14: 6) If we follow Christ, we will, by definition, immerse ourselves in the truth.
However, we also need to understand Jesus more and more and that is where the Church helps us. Towards the end of his time on earth, Jesus told his disciples: “I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.” (John 16:12-14)
The Holy Spirit – the Spirit of truth – leads the Church into the truth. He does this in all sorts of ways. We can, for example, look at the clear statements of belief which the Church has drawn up. Each week in church we say the Nicene Creed. Creeds are short statements of belief. They don’t spell out every truth but they do home in on the essential truths of the Faith. In addition to the creeds, the Church has also produced various catechisms over the years in order to teach the Faith. These documents are longer than the creeds and traditionally take a Question and Answer format. The Catechism of the Catholic Church that we use today was published in the early 1990s at the request of Pope John Paul II.
The technical term for the official teaching authority of the Church is the Magisterium. What this means in essence is that the Church doesn’t leave us to wallow in fuzziness. It helps us find and live the truth, through creeds and catechisms, through the teaching of popes and general councils. The truth is out there, as one popular TV series used to declare. It really is and it is always found in God himself.

In 1750 Jesuit priest Gabriel (Jeremy Irons) arrives in the Amazon to build a mission for the Guarani Indians. He comes into conflict with slave trader Mendoza (Robert De Niro), who kills or captures many of the tribe but escapes punishment due to the fact that he is an aristocrat. However, it transpires that even Mendoza has a conscience when he comes to Gabriel asking for penance. A visually stunning epic, The Mission recounts the true story of two men – a man of the sword (Robert De Niro) and a man of the cloth (Jeremy Irons) – both Jesuit missionaries who defied the colonial forces of mighty Spain and Portugal to save an Indian tribe from slavery in mid-18th-Century South America.

Who Am I To Judge?
Responding to Relativism with Logic and Love
“Don’t be so judgemental!” “Why are Christians so intolerant?” “Why can’t we just coexist?” In an age in which preference has replaced morality, many people find it difficult to speak the truth, afraid of the reactions they will receive if they say something is right or wrong. Using engaging stories and personal experience, Edward Sri helps us understand the classical view of morality and equips us to engage relativism, appealing to both the head and the heart. Learn how Catholic morality is all about love, and why making a judgement is not judging a person’s soul.

A Brief Life of Christ
Fulton J. Sheen turned his voice and pen to many subjects during the course of a long and remarkable apostolate. But nothing came closer to the core of his message than bringing the life and saving words of Jesus to the problems of modern life and the modern world. In A Brief Life of Christ, Sheen employs the twin pillars of faith and reason to draw out the meaning of the life of Jesus for our times. He pointedly shows how Christ issues His challenge alike to nations, peoples, and individual souls. The final chapters on Christ’s public life, and Passion, Death, and Resurrection contain tremendous insights and provide material for a lifetime of reflection.

How Christianity Saved Civilisation
Ancient Rome’s brutal culture exploited the weak and considered human life expendable. Women were used as property; unwanted children were left on the streets to die. Four centuries later, even ordinary men and women prospered in what had become a vigorous new Christian society, a society that served the vulnerable, exalted women, treasured virtue, and loved peace.
Faith had triumphed. Truth was proclaimed. And on this rock-solid foundation, Christian society flourished in the West for the next 1500 years.
Here you’ll learn about the seven specific areas where any paganism, ancient or modern, is particularly vulnerable. They provide a roadmap for modern Christians to reclaim for the Faith our own neo-pagan modern culture.
Facing an overwhelmingly dark and hostile culture, Rome’s early Christians took the steps necessary to transform it. Their struggles and the hard lessons they learned documented here afford us hope that, by imitating their example, we may do the same for our culture today.

Memorise the Faith!
Memorising the Faith is no substitute for living a holy life, but even devout people can’t live by truths they can’t remember. That’s why, over 700 years ago, St. Thomas Aquinas perfected an easy method for his students to memorise most any information, but especially the truths taught by Christ and His Church. Refining techniques taught by the ancient philosophers, St Thomas created a mental “memory mansion” and a way to store information in “rooms,” where it remains, fresh and accessible, until you return to retrieve it.
Dr Vost remains faithful to St Thomas’ vision, showing how you can use this system to recall hundreds of key Church teachings, Bible verses, theological terms, and other elements of the Faith every Catholic needs to know by heart.

Because of Our Fathers
Twenty-Three Catholics Tell How Their Fathers Led Them to Christ
A father—the head of the household, as Saint Paul says—has a crucial role and responsibility in his family, not only materially, but spiritually. This is no outdated biblical cliché, but a biological, sociological, and metaphysical reality that we too often fail to recognize. The example of a father can leave an indelible imprint on the character of his children. In this book, twenty-three Catholics—including Patrick Madrid, Abby Johnson, Bishop Joseph Strickland, Father Paul Scalia, Jesse Romero, Anthony Esolen, Father Rocky, Christopher Check, and Father Gerald Murray—give portraits of their own fathers as conduits and models of Christian love. Ranging from the heroic to the ordinary, these powerful testimonies will inspire men to consider more deeply the amazing privilege that God has given them to become, despite their imperfection, a living image of our Father in Heaven.

A Spiritual Guide for Denying Yourself, Embracing the Cross, and Finding Joy
In these powerful pages, author Vicki Burbach contrasts – as Jesus did – our selfish worldly culture with the way Christians are called to live, illuminating the essential role that sacrifice must play in every worthy human life. Not content with explaining the importance of sacrifice and singing its praises, Burbach ends each chapter with practical, down-to-earth suggestions to help readers cultivate the art of sacrifice in their lives, so that each may find a way to follow Christ as He commands us. She shows that not only is it critical that we each undertake ever more sacrifices, large and small, as we go about our daily lives but that doing so is the path to joy: great joy today and immeasurably greater joy hereafter.
