ANSWERS: Apologetics for Catholic Youth

Your Catholic Teen has questions. And the Church has answers! 

ANSWERS is a short, to-the-point handbook designed to answer the questions modern Catholic Teens are dealing with so they feel both clarity and pride in their Catholic Faith.

Answers to 25 Big Catholic Questions

Drawing on the wisdom of the Church developed over the past 2,000 years by countless holy men and women, ANSWERS will help your Catholic Teen find satisfactory answers to 25 big Catholic Questions:

• DOES GOD EXIST?
• IF GOD IS GOOD, WHY DO SO MANY BAD THINGS HAPPEN? WHY DOES HE ALLOW US TO SUFFER?
• DO I NEED RELIGION?
• AREN’T ALL RELIGIONS TRUE?
• HOW DO I KNOW THAT JESUS IS GOD?
• WHICH TYPE OF CHRISTIAN SHOULD I BE?
• IS THE EUCHARIST THE BODY AND BLOOD OF JESUS?
• WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I DIE? 
• WHO GETS INTO HEAVEN?
• WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH MARY?
• WHY CAN ONLY MEN BE PRIESTS?
• WHAT IF I DON’T LIKE MY PRIEST?
• WHY CAN’T I TAKE MY SINS DIRECTLY TO GOD AND SKIP CONFESSION?
• WHAT ROLE DO SAINTS PLAY?
• WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE POPE?
• WHY IS ABORTION SUCH A BIG DEAL TO CATHOLICS?
• DOES WHAT I DO WITH MY BODY MATTER?
• WHAT’S THE BIG DEAL ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY?
• WHY DO I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL I AM MARRIED TO HAVE SEX?
• CAN CATHOLICS GET DIVORCED?
• WHY CAN’T CATHOLICS USE ARTIFICIAL BIRTH CONTROL?
• DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HATE HOMOSEXUALS?
• WHY CAN’T SAME-SEX COUPLES GET MARRIED IN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH?
• DOES THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HATE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANGENDER OR NONBINARY?
• IS BEING RICH A SIN?
  

Each question is answered thoroughly and in a way that is appropriate for Catholic Teens. Instead of simply stringing together a series of quotes from the Catechism or encyclicals, we took time to explain and give examples.

Printed with an Imprimatur

We refused to print ANSWERS without an imprimatur! Thanks to a VERY thorough review from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis, it took us an extra year to finally see this book in print. During that time, we hired a seasoned theologian and crawled through Trinitarian theology word-by-word. It was a hard and sometimes daunting process, but we got there!

And you can trust that every word of ANSWERS has been reviewed and verified to be free from error in matters of faith and morals by the Church. Praise God!

A Saint for Each Question

Each question and its answer concludes with a saint’s story. Many of the saints included in ANSWERS wrestled with these same questions that Catholic Teens are encountering today. Through God’s grace, they each found Truth in the answers provided by our Catholic Faith. We pray for the same grace for each person who reads this book.

Required Reading for Every Catholic Teen

I worked so hard on this book because I wanted it for my kids. I can’t shelter them forever, and at some point, a friend will challenge their belief in God, or they will begin to wonder why women can be Protestant ministers but not priests. I’m happy to have those conversations with them…but sometimes the answers land better when they don’t come just from mom and dad. For those situations, I wanted a book I could hand my child that helps them to discover the truth on their own. 

Catholic Sprouts is on a mission to form the next generation of Catholics. Help us introduce them to the Truth and equip them to spread the Truth wherever this life leads.
