As a layman you don’t have the authority to learn anything about Catholicism on your own. You have to consult with an orthodox and traditional priest. He will direct your studies. Do not take ANY advice from or read any books written by a layman.
James Kelly
Catholic Churches run classes to introduce you to the faith, but that's only if you're converting. Some of the western church fathers might be useful to read, Augustine's Confessions are quite accessible as an introduction.
Joseph Edwards
CK Lewis and GK Chesterton have some more accessible stuff if you don't feel like being bogged down in theology. Most importantly go to church, perform charitable acts, and pray regularly. It doesn't matter how well read you are if you don't practice your faith.
Christian Cooper
C.S Lewis - Mere Christianity
G.K Chesterton - Orthodoxy
Thomas Merton - Seven Storey Mountain
An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine - John Newman
Confessions - St. Augustine
Spiritual Exercises - St. Ignatius of Loyola
all these suggestions come from Bishop Robert Barron on youtube, which you should check out as well.
Elijah Mitchell
You are not supposed to read books and try to grasp God. You are supposed to ask your Priest and he will tell your the opinion of the Catcholic Church. There is a reason there is the divine hierarchy from heaven to Pope to your Priest.
Luis Torres
what prompted this desire to "start" Catholicism? I get the sense that you aren't a catholic now, and that you're asking for book recommendations because this is ostensibly a book forum.
Do you really think reading a book can make you a catholic?

The OP obviously means, "where do I start with reading Catholic texts", not "how do I start being Catholic"

Watch out for the prots shilling their "theology," it's all a bunch of bunk which sucks you into hell.
Brayden Anderson
Church Fathers. Specially Saint Augustine.
Blake King
he wants to read catholic texts, because he wants to be catholic, you idiot. learn to read between the lines, no one wants to read this fucking trash unless they think it will give them meaning.
it won't though, enlightenment comes from within.

You should stop trying to become a Catholic because that's the trendy thing to do in your psuedo-political circles and try to find something that you actually find a legitimate spiritual connection to. I used to be very negative to religion when I was younger but as I've grown older I've come to respect religious people who believe because they have a proper spiritual connection with their religion, what I still do not respect however is pseuds who try to get into religion as a fashion statement. If you are really interested in Catholicism then you should obviously read the Bible but you should also try and find a Catholic church and talk to a pastor.

Check out the books by Hutton Gibson especially "Is the Pope Catholic?"
Seek out work by Patrick Henry Omlor, plus The Ottaviani Intervention, and anything by Fr Luigi Villa

Depressing. The whole thing reeks of decay. Like a dead ritual people still perform despite have long forgotten what it meant.
