Two
instructional courses
about the Catholic faith are available. Each uses text from printed
booklets in the Hart and Veritas series. A required
login aids in
tracking test results and keeps a user's place in the course upon
return visits. The same login can be used for both courses.
This series is based on
the Catechism of the Catholic Church and provides a systematic
introduction. Fundamentals of
Catholicism and basic teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. It
answers the questions: What
does a Catholic believe?, How does a Catholic worship? and How does a
Catholic live? The author,
apologist and
philosophy professor Peter Kreeft, offers an explanation in everyday
language of each area of Catholic belief and practice.

Luke E. Hart Series
God:
lesson 2: - Atheists deny God’s
existence. Mystics experience God directly. Saints are called friends
of God. But how much can we, finite human beings, really know about
Him, the infinite, omnipotent God? Thanks to the Saint Gregory Society
for providing this week’s music.

 Faith: Lesson 1
- This is the
first of 30 lessons based on the Catechism of the Catholic Church,
offered by the Catholic Information Service. Written by Peter Kreeft
this first lesson, on Faith, gives a basic understanding of the
relationship between faith and reason, faith and authority, and faith
and the Church. If you want to put your faith in action, it’s a good
idea to know what the Church teaches about faith.

This course offers
accurate information about the Church's faith, practices and
devotions. As the name
of the series says " Veritas", we are searching for truth,
the truth of our faith handed down through the centuries from the Lord
to the apostles and to succeeding generations of Christians. Like the
Hart series, the Veritas series is neither the first nor the last word
on these matters of faith. The point is to give basic, reasonable and
verifiable information by which we live our lives according to God’s
plan for us.

Lord,
Teach Us to Pray - What is prayer? Why should I pray?
To whom do I pray? How do I pray? These are some of the questions that
will be explained by Dominican Father Peter John Cameron in Lord, Teach
Us to Pray. Here the author answers our questions and helps us to
develop a prayer life that is more personal than mechanical. Father
Cameron’s efforts also address issues like family prayer and teenagers
and prayer.

Th e Catholic Teaching
on Annulment
As a
loving mother, the Church responds to the needs and wounds of her
children. One of the most traumatic experiences that an individual may
face remains the separation from his or her spouse. Unfortunately, the
phenomenon of no-fault divorce often trivializes the bond of marriage
by reducing it to a mere legality. In order to respect the indissoluble
bond of marriage and remain compassionate to those who are experiencing
the trauma of separation,the Church provides the procedure to obtain an
annulment.

CIS has taken up the call of Jesus
Christ to make disciples of all nations. Following the lead of Pope
John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI by proposing the truth of the faith.
Ours is the basic work of evangelizing today’s culture by accepting the
challenge to make God visible in the human face of Jesus Christ. As
Father Michael J. McGivney did in the 19th century so we do in the 21st
century by “helping individuals to recognize and experience the love of
Christ, [and] awaken in them the desire to dwell in the house of the
Lord, embracing the life of the Church,” as Pope Benedict XVI said to
the Ontario bishops.
Over the years CIS has printed millions of booklets, and tens of
thousands of people have enrolled in our courses in an effort to preach
Jesus Christ to the nations.
