UNDERSTANDING CATHOLICISM: Exploring the Sacred Traditions of Catholic Belief and Practice (Journey Of Wisdom)

I'm a Catholic but there are a lot of things I do not know especially the history and how things came about. This book helped me understand Catholicism a lot more. There's still a lot to read as I'm only a 3rd of the way but I like how it's formatted and written in a way that's easy to understand.

this book is filled with secular propaganda. It reads like the author got the answers from the topics from Chat GPT. it gives no or little ref to Church cannon or Catechism ref #or pages but instead gives a some truth with a little bit of lies sprinkled in just like the devil does to warp and confuse people about the Catholic Church. If your a practicing or non practicing Catholic that is looking to learn the truth about our tradition or what the church teaches for real DONT USE THIS BOOK. I work in IT this definitely looks like LLM gpt3 answers to these questions.
