- For my Son
I bought this book for my 37 yr old son who recently converted. He has some mild learning difficulties due to MS & is struggling to understand the faith deeper. I saw the 13 part "Catholicism for Dummies" series on EWTN by the authors of this book & it was excellent so I bought the book for him. Read parts of it and it puts things in plain English and is easy to understand. I can recommend it for younger Catholics, new converts, any one thinking of converting or those who simply wants to learn more about Catholicism. The authors are the real deal. True traditional Catholic priests teaching true Catholicism, not some goofballs pushing some radical liberal agenda that is not true Catholic teaching.

- Good Book
This book really helped me I'm converting over to the Catholic faith & I have bought "The Cathesim Of The Catholic Church" but it did not give me Detail of what I was looking for such as Catholics Believed in & Mass & why they have mass , This book is A MUST if you have little to none knowledge of the Catholic church & Catholics .

- QUITE SIMPLY THE BEST !
IF THERE WERE THREE BOOKS TO OWN, THEY WOULD BE THE BIBLE, CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, AND CATHOLICISM FOR DUMMIES. THIS BOOK IS VERY WELL WRITTEN. IT IS EXTREMELY INTERESTING TO READ, IT IS THOROUGH AND THANKFULLY IT IS NOT DUMMIED DOWN.

- Catholicism 101
Even after attending Catholic schools for 13 years, I learned a lot from this little book. You could call it the Cliff's notes for the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Well written and easy to understand.

- Inquiring Minds Read This!
Basic information, not dumbed down but presented in very readable form to help the person who really wants to know the truth about Catholicism without a lot of difficult terminology. After years of study, I find this useful for my own study as well as for teaching inquirers into the Catholic faith, especially RCIA (Those who want to acquire a good knowledge of the faith so that they can confidently join the Church and receive the sacraments of Initiation at the Easter vigil. These sacraments are Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Eucharist. Find out more about this in the book!)
