Sacred Heart

Catholic Q & A is an open forum for anyone to come to be heard and to be able to ask questions. It's an opportunity for skeptics, questioning Christians, atheists, agnostics, confused, or unformed Catholics to have an open dialogue about the Catholic faith. It is a forum for those whoa re interested in becoming Catholic or simply learning more about Catholicism to inquire. As we grow deeper in our spiritual lives, new questions arise in our hearts. Thus, Catholic Q & A is also for those deeply rooted in their respective faith traditions to ask theological questions about Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith.
