Frequently Asked Questions
The questions answered below are among the most common and important concerns raised by Catholics—especially those who are trying to reconcile the deep contradictions between the Catholic Faith of all time and what has emerged since Vatican II in the form of the Novus Ordo religion. For many, this journey is confusing, overwhelming, and emotionally difficult. It can feel like everything you thought was Catholic is now in question. This FAQ is offered to help bring clarity, peace, and truth—grounded not in opinion, but in the constant teaching of the Church before the crisis. We invite you to explore these answers with an open heart, a love for the truth, and a desire to remain faithful to the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church founded by Jesus Christ.
1.1. What is the Catholic Church and why should I be a member of it?
The Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ, outside of which there is no salvation (extra Ecclesiam nulla salus). It is the Mystical Body of Christ, the Ark of Salvation, possessing the fullness of the means of sanctification and truth. To be a Catholic is to belong to the visible society established by Christ and governed by His divine authority through the Apostles and their successors.
Membership is necessary because Christ Himself commanded,
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be condemned.”
— Mark 16:16
The Church is the only means He established for the teaching of truth, administration of valid sacraments, and sanctification of souls.
