Catholicism in Context: This issue of Catholic Update is part of a series that delves into the teachings of the Church as it considers Catholic beliefs, how they developed, and why the Church continues to hold fast to truths that the modern world rejects. Essentially, Catholicism in Context examines what we (as Catholics) believe, and why we believe it.
