As we read the Scriptures, it is clear that Jesus intended to found only one church. And he wanted it to be united. Jesus promised that he would be with his church forever. He selected the Apostles, with Peter as their head, prepared them and sent them out to spread the Good News to all the world. The Acts of the Apostles describes how much effort Peter and Paul spent in keeping the church united. We Catholics believe history shows clearly that our church is the one Jesus founded; and that other churches broke away from us at various times along the way. There were certainly times in the history of the Catholic Church when reform was badly needed, especially during the late Middle Ages. Nevertheless, even the lowest periods produced saints, martyrs, holy men and women. And the official teaching of the church never wavered from what Jesus and the Apostles wanted. We who are Catholic have come to love the church as our mother and our home. She brings to us the blessings of the virtue of hope. But, ultimately, we are Catholics because of God's generous gift of Faith, which we neither earn nor deserve. Be Catholic Because! is a great addition to any audio collection ...
