Additional information

Teaching with Authority is a unique, valuable, and long-overdue resource for all Catholics in addition to those inquiring about the Faith. It’ll assist deepen your understanding of what the Church teaches by showing you (perhaps for the first time) how and why and where it does. Not any other catechism or Catholicism for beginners book, Teaching with Authority isn t about understanding specific teachings of the Faith (even the complicated and misunderstood ones) but fairly about understanding Catholic teaching itself. Where does the Church s teaching authority come from? How do we weigh dogmas as opposed to practices, doctrines as opposed to disciplines, conciliar declarations as opposed to papal interviews? How do we sort through the many kinds of ecclesial documents and resolve their relative authority and relevance? And, in an age when accusations of heresy fly often across social media, with competing sides eager to paint the other as unfaithful to Catholic tradition or to the current pope, Jimmy also tackles the issues of incredulity, apostasy, and schism showing you the right way to recognize different forms of dissent and respond to them fittingly.
