Welcome to CatholicBeliefs.org

The Catholic Church, guided by the teachings of Jesus Christ, joyfully affirms that all people are welcome. Created in the image and likeness of God, every person is invited to encounter Christ and to share in the life of the Church. With love and compassion, the Church opens her doors to all who seek truth, healing, and salvation, offering the sacraments, the Word of God, and the support of a faith-filled community. At the heart of this invitation is a call to ongoing conversion and repentance, through which we turn away from sin and grow in holiness. In the Church, Christ’s truth is proclaimed in love, and His mercy is freely offered to all who are open to His grace. In Him, there is room for everyone to walk the path of mercy, transformation, and eternal life.

CatholicBeliefs.org is committed to presenting the teachings of the Catholic Church in full fidelity to the Magisterium — the teaching authority of the Church comprised of the Pope and the bishops in communion with him. All content is intended to reflect authentic Catholic doctrine as taught by the Church’s official sources, including Sacred Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the writings of the Church Fathers and Popes.
