Catholic Countdown: 12 Days to Religious Literacy for Parents, Teachers, and Teens

Catholics worldwide are clamoring for a clear, accessible course on the fundamentals of our faith. If you’re one of them, join. Fr. Bill Byron, one of America’s leading Catholic educators, for this lively 12-lecture course. The former president of three Catholic colleges and author of thirteen books on Catholic reflections on issues of everyday life, Fr. Byron is the perfect guide for such a journey.

This series is not a dictionary of theology or a compendium of all Catholic doctrine; it is a dynamic, informative overview of Catholic teaching, of the essentials, the main lines of what Catholics believe. 

The theology you pick up here can help you in your search for meaning as well as assist you in your living, breathing relationships with God and your fellow humans. What you learn from these presentations will also contribute to your becoming an all-around better human being.

Fr. Byron organized this series as a countdown from the Ten Commandments, through the Eight Beatitudes, Seven Sacraments, Four Cardinal Virtues, the Blessed Trinity, all the way down to the notion of the one God, the unity of God. By using this method, you’ll remember what you learn and deepen your faith as you move throughout the world.

This course includes a free PDF study guide prepared by your professor and course producer.
