("The . . . Sacraments . . . are the means by which Christ...)
"The . . . Sacraments . . . are the means by which Christ's redemptive work in his Passion, Death, and Resurrection are present for all time and for all the faithful." Donald Cardinal Wuerl The Teaching of Christ has had a profound impact upon the universal Church since it was first published in 1976, having been translated into over 13 languages and used around the world. Now, material dealing specifically with the Sacraments has been drawn from The Teaching of Christ into a convenient, short catechism that clearly and precisely defines each of them. There is no overestimating the spiritual value of these seven holy signs of God's grace to His people, and their place in the theology and tradition of the Church. Each Sacrament is reviewed in detail, followed by discussion questions, additional references, and key quotations from the Catechism. Sidebar articles within the text provide helpful background information on complex topics. This handy and affordable booklet will benefit individuals and study groups that desire to gain a deeper knowledge of the Sacraments.

(The authoritative work on the Church's teaching on sexual...)
The authoritative work on the Church's teaching on sexual morality has been thoroughly updated to address dimensions of this complex topic that have emerged in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Since publication of the 2nd edition of Catholic Sexual Ethics, the philosophical landscape of human sexuality has dramatically changed. The rise of such concerns as moral relativism, the drive for same-sex unions, and a drastic redefinition of marriage and family have underscored the need for an unambiguous, up-to-date understanding of Catholic sexual teaching. Features: ---Quotations from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. ---Summary of Catholic teaching on sexuality from biblical times to our own. ---Presentation of principal elements of the teaching of Pope Benedict XVI on marriage in the early years of his pontificate. ---Discussion of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith's 2003 Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions Between Homosexual Persons. ---Integration of more recent materials that clarify issues into the existing framework of the book. Whether they are involved in ministry, education, or catechesis, you and many others will benefit from having this essential resource near at hand.
