How do you explain the Faith to today’s young Catholics? There are plenty of online resources for Catholic educators but most consist of printable lesson plans that need adapting or superficial activities for children to do as busywork.

What Catholic educators most need are the resources and tools to fully understand the Catholic Faith and texts and guides to help transmit that to children. Why does God allow evil? Why does God send people to Hell? Why does everyone have to die? The list goes on.

Catholic educators need concrete explanations to these and hundreds other questions. You need to understand both what the Church teaches and why She teaches it. Children are not looking for guesses or for superficial answers. Teaching religion is a spiritual work of mercy that the Church blesses with indulgences but teaching error to children – even unintentionally – can lead to the direct loss of souls.

Study the fullness of the Catholic Church's teachings in order to serve as an informed catechist. Whether you are teaching children or adults, it is necessary to be firmly grounded in the Church's teachings. Our coursework incorporates the Catholic Church's official teachings on hundreds of topics with a basis in Scripture and Catechism passages. Lessons incorporate different catechisms, many different prayers and devotions, and activities that you may use in the classroom.

Dozens of hours of content which all available 24/7!

Certificates of Completion available for those who complete the program.

This course examines the most important aspect of our lives – our Faith. In this Introduction to Catholicism class, we cover a number of key topics – why we need religion, the existence of God, and why relativism is wrong. After looking at various religions, we will better understand why the Catholic Church is the one true religion.

There are lessons on why we need the Catholic Church, the use of philosophy and logic in understanding the authenticity of Catholicism, the Apostles’ Creed, the Bible, and Tradition in the Church. Every lesson opens and ends with Catholic prayers and there are extensive quotations from the Bible and official Church teachings. Every lesson incorporates beautiful pictures to illustrate the point of the text. This is a course for those looking for faith and for those who want to follow the Catholic religion more faithfully and enthusiastically.

In this series of lessons we will focus on the major events, persons, and books comprising the Old Testament. We will learn about Noah, Abraham, Saul, Solomon, Judges, Ruth, Esther, the prophets, and many others. Through this process, we will see how many things in the Old Testament prefigure the New Testament. We will examine various typology and some of the Church’s Sacred Blessings and Prayers which mention the Old Testament. We will also consider the historical context in which many of the books of the Old Testament were written. Through all of this, you will read not only from the Catechism of the Catholic Church but also other sources including the Church Fathers, the Council of Trent, and the Baltimore Catechism.

Throughout this series of lessons we will examine the Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ and the truths of the New Testament. Using the Catechisms of the Church, the "Life of Christ" by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, and the teachings of the Church Fathers and Supreme Pontiffs, we will understand the person of Jesus Christ. And by understanding Christ, the source of all life and truth, we will learn how to imitate His most holy life and thus lead a holy, pleasing life.

Throughout the ten lessons comprising this series we will examine each of the sacraments individually as well as the topics of matter/form, sacramental/actual grace, and the Sacraments of Initiation. Grace is given us by God chiefly through the sacraments. As such, we will seek to understand the Theology of the Sacraments and will learn to revere the Sacraments and make use of them for our own salvation.

We examine each of the 12 articles of the Creed as well as the Church's teaching on issues of great importance to modern Catholics. The Apostles' Creed is a series of twelve truths about God, the Trinity, and the Catholic Church that He founded. Using the Apostle's Creed as our guide, we will thoroughly understand the teachings of the Church that we as Catholics must believe.

In this series we include one lesson on each of the Ten Commandments. Scripture, the Catechisms, and the words of Canon Francis Ripley in "This is the Faith" comprise this course's reading material. Since the Ten Commandments represent God’s law for all men, they are possible for all men to observe successfully. God would not make laws that are impossible to observe. Moreover, God always gives those graces necessary to observe the Commandments. Not only is it possible for all men to observe them; it is necessary and obligatory for them to do so. Therefore, everyone has the obligation to know them. In this course, we will learn the Ten Commandments in all of its detail.

Throughout this series of lessons we will examine the Theology of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. The Mass is the Re-Presentation of Jesus Christ on the Cross. The Mass is the Sacrifice of the New Law in which Christ, through the ministry of the priest, offers Himself to God in an unbloody manner under the appearances of bread and wine. It is most pleasing for us to attend Holy Mass. In this course we will thorough understand the holiness of the Mass and its Theology. We will also learn of the Theology of the Divine Liturgy of the Eastern Catholic Traditions, as well as the Theology of the Tridentine Latin Mass.

Catholics are bound to observe the laws of the Church, in addition to the Ten Commandments. Many of these additional laws have been long established and observed by the Faithful for centuries. All together, the Deposit of Faith, that which a Catholic must believe in order to truly be a Catholic, requires Catholics to observe the Precepts of the Church. The Precepts of the Church are not all inclusive in terms of the rules for living a Catholic life. There are other laws that Catholics are bound to observe that are not listed in the Precepts of the Church. The Precepts of the Church are the six principal ones, that is, the six ones with which Catholics should ordinary be concerned, since they ordinarily occur in a person’s life. Through this course we will study the precepts in depth to understand the need for the precepts, what the precepts require of us, and why they are so important.

How does God really want us to live our lives? What is true happiness? The playbook to live on earth is detailed by God in the Bible and church documents. When the points are stacked against us, will we continue to use the playbook to win the game? This introduction to moral life gives clear explanations of church documents including the Catechism of the Catholic Church. Identifiable and relatable examples are used to bring moral life teaching into everyday life.

Eschatology is the study of the end of life, the end of time, and the Final Coming of Christ. In Eschatology, Christian Theology focuses primarily on the “Four Last Things” that comprise its study. They are Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. In addition to these areas, we will explore as part of the five-part series on these topics, Purgatory, the place of temporary purification after death for souls that die in the state of grace (i.e. are destined for Heaven) but are no yet perfect and able to enter Heaven.

When you think of the Councils of the Church, you probably imagine a group of Cardinals and Bishops quietly discussing obtuse theological doctrines which have no practical implications. Perhaps a loud cough is heard once in a while but, on the whole, it is a staid affair. Actually, the Councils were anything but impractical or quiet. There were loud disagreements and accusations of heresy. You will read about wars, riots, murders, and shipwrecks as well as anti-popes and the suppression of the Templars. The Council members cared deeply about the religious and social problems of their day, arguing for months, sometimes years, in order to find a solution. Each lesson of this course contains a discussion of why the Council was called and what happened at the Council, as well as Biblical references and prayers. We will hear from many saints as well as a few characters not so holy. Each Council has its own exciting story but each has a unifying theme in the Church’s unending mission to guide souls to God. Departing from our standard of sharing Catechism References on the 4th part of each lesson, that part will be devoted to reviewing and studying the documents and canons of the Council in question.

What is an apologetic? Simply put, an apologetic is an argument meant to persuade. Trial lawyers use apologetics every day to persuade juries and judges to adopt their point of view. But we, too, are exposed to apologetics everyday as we listen to advertising touting one product over another, or as we listen to our lawn care provider explain why we should continue using him to mow our lawn and trim our shrubs instead of a cheaper company down the street. No high theology to be found here! To the contrary, this course arms Catholics, both young and old, with easy to understand basics necessary to defend their Catholic Faith and to comfortably share this faith with others. If you are just beginning your walk as a newly committed Catholic or if you are a Cradle Catholic to whom the basic ways of the faith have become foggy, this course is for you.

Unlike virtually all other history courses which undermine or omit the contributions of the Catholic Church, World History from A Catholic Perspective seeks to teach the truths of world history which are intricately tied to the Church's own history.

This course does three things which most courses never do:

1. Mention the Church's contributions which are often ignored
2. Combat modern errors like evolution which are touted as "fact" in public school
3. Address the areas where the Church is falsely accused (e.g. Spanish inquisition, Conquest of the World, Crusades, etc).

This 10 part self-study course for high school students or adults is based on the following segments:

1. Introduction to World History and Developing A Catholic Worldview
2. In the Beginning: From Creation to Abraham
3. God's Chosen People: From Isaac to the Division of the Kingdom
4. The Struggle for Restoration: From the Division to the Roman Empire
5. The Incarnation & Redemption: From 27 BC to the Ascension
6. The Empire's "Small" Problem: From 33 AD to 400 AD
7. The Middle Ages: From 400 AD to 1500 AD
8. The Early Modern Period: From 1500 AD to the Mid 1700s AD
9. The Late Modern Period: From the Mid 1700s to Vatican I
10. Contemporary Period: From Vatican I to World War II

Drawing on the various catechisms of the Church, the Scriptures, the writings of numerous historians, the work of Fr. John Laux, and the writings of Fr. D.I. Lanslot, students of Catholic History from a World Perspective will be armed with a more holistic knowledge of history that does not fail to mention the greatest institution the world has ever known: The Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church is the great bastion of miracles. We have numerous miracles testifying to the authenticity of the Catholic Faith:

1. The stigmata: Dozens of saints have had the visible marks of Christ on their bodies.
2. Eucharistic miracles: We have dozens of miracles, some of which have been scientifically examined, testifying to the truth that the Eucharistic Host is actually Christ's flesh and blood.
3. Incorruptible Saints: We also have over 150 incorruptible saints whose incorruptibly defies all of science.
4. Miracles Worked Through the Saints: The blood of St. Januarius frequently liquefies. Throughout the centuries thousands of reported miracles have occurred at the tombs of the saints. St. Benedict and St. Dominic, among others, by the power of God resurrected people from the dead. St. Padre Pio, St. Gregory the Wonderworker, St. Charbel, and countless others have performed miracles. The Miracles of the Saints are numerous enough to fill volumes of books. Over 400 saints have raised the dead to life.
5. The Miracles Performed through the Blessed Virgin Mary: Over 70 people are been healed of incurable diseases in the waters of Lourdes. The Miracle of the Sun at Fatima was witnessed by over 70,000 people. And we have many miracles of the Rosary including the Miracle at Hiroshima. Many other such Rosary miracles have occurred. The Miraculous Medal and the Brown Scapular continue to work miracles up to this day unexplained by science.

In this course, we explore these and many more miracles to understand how we can know that the Catholic Faith is the divinely established religion. We also study the Church's teaching on what a miracle is and what a miracle is not. We will also carefully examine both the Old and New Testaments for what they teach us about miracles. This course goes beyond intellectual arguments and reasoning, which is often the focus of Apologetics, and shows God's works among us, some of which have even occurred in our own lifetimes.

This course is a survey of Christian Philosophy. Even that first sentence might tempt you to ask a whole host of questions… good! Believe it or not, you are already acting like a philosopher. Let's clear the air. The biggest problem most people have with the study of philosophy is that it's not "practical" (so they say). 'I can't pay my bills with philosophy,' 'I can't support my family by studying Aristotle,' 'The world needs scientists, mathematicians, and engineers… not philosophers."

These are all examples of an attitude that has saturated in a culture obsessed with doing—obsessed with the practical, the useful, and the pragmatic. 'Thou savourest not the things that are of God but the things that are of men,' says Our Lord (Mt 16:23).

The truth is, even though philosophy does deal with the theoretical, it is also supremely practical. Do we not think that every person has a reason behind every single thing that they do? The teacher runs a classroom based on their philosophy of education, the doctor treats a patient based on their philosophy of healthcare, the CEO runs a company based on their philosophy of business, the husband and wife treat each other based on their philosophy of marriage.

Since Philosophy is a foundation for Theology, this course is intended for all adults who seriously want to form their minds as students disposed to receive Divine Knowledge.

Pneumatology is the study of the Holy Ghost, the third person of the Blessed Trinity. In this course, we study the Holy Ghost and answer several key questions using both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition as our source. Who is the Holy Ghost? How do we receive the Holy Ghost? What role does the Holy Ghost play in our lives, in the life of the Church, in the Sacraments, or in our path to Heaven? Is the Holy Ghost real? How can we receive the graces and fruits of the Holy Ghost? What does it mean to be filled with the Holy Ghost? We will answer these and many more questions in this unique course.

The pro-life movement is dedicated to advancing the protection for all human life from conception to natural death. Abortion and euthanasia, which sentences a life to death, are of the utmost importance, yet we also work for the end of human suffering, poverty, and the care of the sick. We understand that suffering, when offered up for the glory of God and the good of souls, bears eternal merit. We are not alone in our work. The lives of St. Gianna Molla, St. Maria Goretti, St. Jeanne Jugan, St. Damien of Molokai, and others provide us with examples to imitate. And more than that, they serve as powerful intercessors for us before the throne of God, who they see now in Heaven. May we learn from their examples and lives and also fight for the right to all life and for the natural law here on earth.

In this course, we study a number of great saints whose lives bear testimony to our Lord Jesus Christ using our unique approach to combine saintly writings, Scripture passages, Catechism passages, official Church teachings, and prayer. These lessons will help you learn, love, and live out the Catholic Faith by following the example of men and women who are now in Heaven and pray for us. The saints come from all walks of life - they range from Popes to priests to average men and women. We see martyrs who died for the Faith, those who lived long lives on earth in faithfulness to the Gospel, those who lived sinful lives and converted and ultimately won Heaven, and so many more. The Catholic Faith is meant for every single human person and we see in the saints those from every nationality, ethnicity, country, and walk of life. They are a true source of example and we will study and learn from their lives using our unique 7 step format for catechesis that is a hallmark of all CatechismClass.com lessons. Order now and as new lessons on the saints are released, they will be added to your program at no additional cost.

Along the way we will look at the prayers, poetry, music and architecture the Apostles inspired and see how these twelve men are still teaching us today almost 2,000 years after their deaths. We will see how the faith spread throughout the Roman Empire and even beyond its borders and how each Apostle met his death. You will be surprised at the many different paths of the Apostles as they witnessed for Christ.

Our 11th grade curriculum will prepare each young person to be a light for the world which is increasingly shrouded in the darkness of moral decay. These lessons follow the great mysteries of faith, from the creation of the world to the Ascension of Jesus into Heaven; yet these truths are reviewed in order to consider their importance for everyday life in a secular, diverse world. Moral issues are considered including gender differences, the sins of same sex marriage, abortion, contraception and sexual activity outside of marriage. The emphasis of these lessons is on countering the relativist philosophy which says there is no objective truth, only personal opinion. As Catholics we know that truth can be known and the Mystical Body of Christ is where we learn and receive strength. Activities in these lessons are designed to help students reflect, come together with other young people, pray and Go Forth.

While other young people are planning careers that will rake in the big bucks, we who are Catholic, are called to a different path. We are called to speak the truth, even when the world loves lies. We are called to follow Christ, even when the world will mock us for it. In these lessons, we look at the things which sustain us and give us joy on the journey. When we know our faith in a deep way, our backpacks are filled and we are ready. This will be a journey like no other! Jesus leads the way. Mary shines a light. Angels and saints crowd around us. Are you ready? In these lessons for the first semester, we will go more deeply into why we should love being Catholic. We will look at how to defend truth in the face of heresies. And we will focus on discerning the path ahead. While “career planning” may be about ego and money, “discernment” is about the fulfillment that comes when we follow God’s plan for us!
