Dear Reader,
The research and writing of this book has been for me a labor of love. As a cradle Catholic, Roman Catholicism has been part of my life from the outset. After short careers in the Navy and the business world, I chose to become a religious priest in the Congregation of Holy Cross. Throughout my life I have been intrigued by the teachings of the church and its history; they have become the bedrock of my life. However, I have noticed, especially as a priest, a lack of religious literacy among Catholics, and many misperceptions concerning the church among people of other faiths. Thus, it is a pleasure to write a book that presents the basics of Catholicism in a way that is understandable and entertaining to you. I hope that your appreciation of Catholicism historically, theologically, and socially is greatly enhanced through your reading and study of this volume.

Stonehill College, a small Catholic liberal arts institution of higher education in North Easton, Massachusetts, is where I call home and the school where I teach. Since 1995 I have had the privilege of sharing my faith, both academically and spiritually, with some wonderful students. Since the genesis of this project came at the request of a former student, it is appropriate that this book be dedicated to all of my former students at Stonehill who have helped me to be a better teacher, scholar, Catholic, and priest.
This book would not have been possible without four important people. First, I want to thank Ms. Hillary Thompson, the one who invited me into this project and who has guided it from the outset to its completion. Secondly, I wish to acknowledge my spiritual director, Father Richard Segreve, CSC, who helps me to understand my faith in the complex world. I thank Father Bob Kruse, CSC, for reading and commenting on this manuscript. Lastly, I wish to thank my dear friend Sister Tania Santander Atauchi, CDP, who over the last decade has helped me to deepen my appreciation for the richness of Catholicism.
