What Does Every Catholic Need To Know?

how to foster a devotion to the Blessed Mother and how devotion to Mary isn't worhiping Mary as God but actually helps us become closer to her Son.


I think every Catholic should know that they are in the true Church established by Christ on the rock, Peter, and that we are all blessed to be apart of this Church. Most Catholics I've spoken to whether in school or work don't actually know that the Church was established by Christ. Also, very important: the true presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

Thank you. I will keep pulling from this list as we make the book. It looks like it will be at least 100 pages.

The People's parts of the Mass in Latin (apologies if this has already been mentioned). Parallel texts so that it's easier to see which word means what.

Thank you. Please remember that it would really be helpful if people can continue to post things that are more unusual - we definitely have all of the basic prayers and precepts of the Church covered - but that Catholics still need to know or should have memorized.

[quote name='CatherineM' post='1873372' date='May 22 2009, 05:02 PM']What all the vestments and altar cloths are properly called.[/quote]

That, and what the different colors of vestments signify.

Some of this stuff has been suggested already, but it's important stuff that I as a cradle Catholic had little or no knowledge of growing up.

Explanation of the proper use of sacramentals.
The role and history or religious orders, concise of course.
Explanation of liturgical objects; monstrances, incense, etc.
Precepts of the Church
Apostolic succession of the Catholic Church
Catholic Origins of the Holy Bible and different Catholic translations.
The different Rites of the Catholic Church.

Great! Thanks. I'm going to post an outline of where I am going with this for suggestions in a while.

I'd like to show you all what I am doing, but I can't get primoPDF or another PDF conversion program to work right now. I think in the end it will be a very valuable, albeit, not totally unique, book.
