This is Catholicism
Welcome to the enlightening journey of "This is Catholicism," a captivating series that delves into the profound teachings of the Catholic faith based on the renowned book, "The Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion" by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J.
Each episode presents a comprehensive exploration of the book's chapters and topics, offering valuable insights and perspectives.
The course begins by introducing the merits of Father Deharbe's catechism, a widely acclaimed work in understanding Catholicism. It follows a triple catechetical method, addressing faith, the Christian rule of life, and the essential means of salvation, all presented in a logical and sequential manner.
A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith.
The text is available in the public domain for free online as a PDF. Used copies and reprint versions can still be found and purchased.
