"An Adult faith does not follow the waves of fashion and the latest novelties."
Pope Benedict XVI

Why Be Catholic?




The following are links to various articles and tracts written by the good folks at Fish Eaters.  They will guide you through some of the most commonly held misconceptions and stereotypes about Catholic Christianity.  There are some people out there who make a living off of attacking the Catholic Church in one way or another.  Suffice it to say, this is their bread and butter, and it's been a very lucrative business for a very long time.  My father told me to always get your information straight from the horse's mouth, lest you end up looking like a horse's ass.  So in honour of that I leave you with this fine apologetic library written by knowledgeable Catholics about real and actual Catholicism -- not the fictional Catholicism you may have heard about from non-Catholics...
