Mercedarian Formation

One of the focuses in our classes is the Catholic Church, what it means, how it was established, importance, scriptural grounding, authority, etc. I read a book by Cardinal Ratzinger's books, Called to Communion. We are also reading excerpts from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. I showed Fr. Eugene some apologetic books by Catholic Answers that talk about the Church, especially their 11 book volume that address certain categories of apologetics. I have 4 books to read on the topics too so I have a lot of work to do. I'll ask my heavenly teachers, saints who I've assigned that job, to intercede and help me get through it with as much retention, focus, attention and grace to receive the best learning from the reading.
