The Catholic Answer Book

 General Description:

The Catholic Answer Book is a unique collection of the most frequently asked questions from readers of The Catholic Answer, Our Sunday Visitor's popular question and-answer publication. The questions and their answers cover a range of topics including Scripture, Doctrine, Morality, Sacraments, Divine Worship, and Catholic Practices.

Sample questions:

Q: John 8:1-11 is the story of the adulteress whom Jesus forgave. Although John doesn't call her Mary Magdalene, I was always taught that is who she was. Where did the Church get that notion?

Q: Why is abortion a matter for excommunication, while killing a two-week-old baby is not?

Q: Our parish recently had a Jewish-Catholic wedding. At the time of the ceremony, the crucifix was taken out of the sanctuary, so as not to offend the Jewish side of the family. Is this correct?

Q: Can people who have committed suicide now be buried with a Mass? This recently happened in my parish, and I was quite taken aback.

Curious? Find the answers to these questions and many more inside!
