What Do Catholics Believe?
Catholicism teaches that everything the Church believes flows from God’s love for humanity — a love that created us, redeemed us through Jesus Christ, and sustains us in communion with Him and one another. The Mass is the central to our faith. We are nourished and fed by the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist so we can carry out his mission of peace, justice, and love in the world. Christ calls us to the forgiveness of sins and we recognize the Sacrament of Reconciliation as a way to repair sin and return to right relationship with God, ourselves and others. The Church is comprised of all believers (the People of God) throughout the world, under the leadership of our Pope and bishops. In collaboration with ordained ministers, the lay faithful are called to live out their baptism through spreading the gospel message and ministering to people in need. In addition, the Catholic Church teaches that ecumenism is an integral part of its mission, seeking visible unity among all Christians, while interfaith dialogue affirms the value of other religions as paths to God and calls for respectful cooperation.
