Catholicism All-In-One For Dummies is your all-inclusive
guide to the Catholic Church and its billions of followers. You'll
learn how Catholicism came to be, how it's practiced, and where it
stands socially and politically as you explore the rich history and
diverse culture surrounding this major religion. Clear, friendly
writing takes you inside a mass to understand what happens there,
and walks you through a tour of the saints, holidays, the Bible,
and the Vatican. Special coverage includes the role of women in the
Church and in the Bible, and the tremendous popularity of Pope
Francis, who has quickly become one of the Vatican's most-loved
leaders. You'll dive into the beliefs and practices of Catholicism
and get answers to the most common, confusing, controversial, and
worrisome questions.
Catholicism is quickly expanding beyond its 1.2 billion
followers, with growing numbers of priests and new baptisms every
year. Attendance at papal events has tripled to 6.6 million since
Pope Francis' election in 2013, and Catholicism has become the
largest religious denomination on the planet by a wide margin. This
book explains what makes Catholicism so alluring, giving you
insight into the religion and everything it entails.
* Discover the complicated history of the Catholic church
* Understand what goes on at mass, and why
* Learn where the Church stands on important issues

cultures
The Catholic Church has been reinvigorated and revitalized with
the enthusiasm surrounding Pope Francis, and his openness to the
world and everyone in it. If your curiosity has been piqued,
Catholicism All-In-One For Dummies is the ideal guide to
learning what it's all about.
