Frequently Asked Questions

What is CatholicBeliefs.org?

CatholicBeliefs.org is a resource dedicated to explaining the teachings of the Catholic Church clearly and faithfully. Our mission is to help Catholics and those curious about the faith understand what the Church teaches — and why — based on Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium (the Church’s teaching authority).

Are you officially affiliated with the Catholic Church?

While CatholicBeliefs.org is not an official publication of the Vatican or any diocese, we affirm our full fidelity to the Magisterium — the Pope and bishops in communion with him. All content on this site is intended to reflect and support the official teachings of the Catholic Church, not personal opinions or private interpretations.

Who writes the content for this website?

The content is created and reviewed by faithful Catholic laity with interest in theology, catechesis, and Church history. We are committed to presenting accurate, respectful, and well-sourced Catholic teaching. Authorship and editorial information will be transparently provided where applicable.

What sources do you use?

We rely primarily on: The Catechism of the Catholic Church; Sacred Scripture; Magisterial documents (such as papal encyclicals and Vatican II documents); Writings of the Early Church Fathers; and Canon Law.  All teachings are backed by links to these sources, so readers can verify them directly.

Can I use content from CatholicBeliefs.org in my parish, school, or ministry?

Yes — you may freely share and use our content for non-commercial catechetical or educational purposes, provided proper credit is given and the material is not altered in a way that could distort Church teaching.
