Learning More About Your Faith: Catholic Apologetics

Apologetics is another name for the branch of theology that encompasses defense of the faith. However, we cannot defend what we don't know or understand. Thankfully, there are many resources available to help us know what to do and how to respond when we're questioned about our faith.

YouCat (Youth Catechism)

The YouCat (Youth Catechism)

"You need to know what you believe. You need to know your faith with the same precision which an IT specialist knows the inner workings of a computer. You need to understand it like a good musician knows the piece he is playing. Yes, you need to be more deeply rooted in the faith than the generation of your parents so that you can engage the challenges and temptations of this time with strength and determinations."

– Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

The YouCat is the catechism broken down and illustrated beautifully so the content is more easily digestible and easier for younger readers to comprehend. This is not a "watered-down" catechism. This is the timeless Truths of the Faith broken down into a simplified manner.
