The volumes listed fit various needs from the one who just wants scripture (The Augustine Bible), the individual who wants an outline of what the church teaches on scripture and its meaning (The Didache Bible), and the person who wants to dive deep into biblical theology (The Ignatius Study Bible). This is only a sampling, but the resources are out there. It is my prayer that this provides some guidance.

Which Catholic Doctrine Troubles You?

Questions Covered:

 

01:20 - Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering troubles me. 

13:09 - I don’t understand why the Church teaches that the call to the priesthood is higher than the call to marriage. 

21:36 - Someone recently told me that the Resurrection is just made up by St. Paul. Is there evidence for it? 

29:16 - I am troubled by the Catholic teaching on predestination and election. 

40:18 - The teaching that there is no salvation outside of the Catholic Church troubles me. 

46:45 - I don’t believe in the Resurrection. Jesus’ own family didn’t believe he could perform miracles. Also, just because he rose from the dead, doesn’t mean that he is approved of by God.
