January Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation
Here is one main reason people choose to be (and remain) Catholic:
Jesus founded a Church, not just a book.
Catholics believe Jesus established a visible Church, built on the apostles, with Peter as its head (Matthew 16:18). The Catholic Church traces its leadership and teaching authority directly back to them through apostolic succession.
This means the faith isn’t reinvented every generation—it’s handed on.
