Which books will help me become a better Catholic?
Jack Taylor
Michael Clark

Luke Wright
Confessions of Saint Augustine
Brandon Richardson
The Qur'an
Luis Jackson
Catholics will go out of their way to read everything but the Bible.
Blake Wright
Perhaps the Bible contains far too much extraneous material and interpolation and is written badly in many places with info dumps totally irrelevant today
Aiden Powell
Read the catechism if you haven't. Read it very carefully, and if you don't grasp all the terms go back to Aristotle. Keep in mind so much of Catholic theology was formed in the first millennium when the most powerful tool philosophers had was Aristotle's syllogism.
Jaxon Powell
Christopher Jones
It's literally read at every mass, which we have multiple times a day, every day.
Joseph Collins
I second this. Good luck reading the part where it is literally just a list of laws. Kings is the best book.
Grayson Sullivan
Reading excerpts that make you feel happy isn't reading it.
Aaron Campbell
Unironically this one
Isaiah Campbell
read in latin?
Jaxon Hernandez
not that user but no. how about you attend mass guy and figure out which way you're going. readings in the ordinary form are given in the local language.
Carter Fisher
Is this book a meme or is it good?
Josiah White
>no
say thanks to martin luther for that one, cathocuck.
Caleb Stewart
second these
Owen Bailey
More like Huss
William Clark
Could you elaborate? I'm thinking about reading it one of these days.
Benjamin Perry
It's a meme. Not to say Dawkins is a meme. But the fact that a evolutionary scientist got this mad at people not believing his work, that he now goes out to make people stop believing in their faith/community is a meme.
Juan Cooper
Crime and Punishment.
Daniel Flores
it's kind of an existential approach to faith, ellaborating ideas from Spinoza and Kierkegaard, and kind of postulates the existence of god stems from the individual need of a god rather than from a rational universal cause that sustains the universe. The author very warmly walks you through a lot of classical and modern theology and philosophy, and he shits a lot on Nietzsche and protestantism. It's good fun. (sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense, english is not my first language)
Carson Brown
Abrahamic faiths are retarded, user.
Jayden Hill
No that made sense. I'll probably read it now cuz of the Kierkegaard, thanks.
Cooper Brooks
based and semitepilled
Grayson Williams

Wyatt Russell
thomas aquinas!
Juan Barnes

Jaxson Parker
The bible or the Catechist
Luis Watson
Lost in the Cosmos
>easily Walker Percy's strangest book. On its surface a darkly humorous parody of the literature of self-help, this late work ... runs the reader down a gauntlet of multiple-choice questions ... whose cumulative effect is to leave her more bereft of answers than when she began. Along the way it conjures up dialogues between talk show hosts and long-dead theologians, inveigles its readers into seriously contemplating suicide, shoulders in on the debates of academic semioticians, presents an overview of world history that predicts World War III erupting as a consequence of Western anomie, and arrives at its denouement by way of … science fiction stories of nuclear war and alien encounters.
Jonathan Peterson
good read
Chase Hernandez
CHESTERTON ORTHODOXY. A must read
Leo Butler
Perhaps you are a dumb frogposter
Asher Russell
Genesis is the best imo
But isn't this why most Catholics who love reading would rather read something besides the Bible never reqd it all? Even the occassional thumper who does read the whole thing seldom reads much of it, he just reads and rereads the same 20% or so
Ethan Foster
Perhaps Catholic doctrine is contrary to the word of Jesus and he never calls Mary "mother".
Dominic Foster
I unironically agree because Catholics are essentially and practically Atheists.
