Death & judgement

Purification

The reasoned defense of the Faith — answering common objections and giving an account of Catholic belief, as Scripture commands every believer to do.
Errors & answers
The major errors that challenged the Church from Gnosticism to Modernism — what each denied, who answered it, and how the struggle clarified Catholic doctrine.

The twenty-one general councils of the Church — the crises they answered, the doctrines they defined, and the reforms they entrusted to the faithful.

The twelve chosen by Christ to be the foundation of His Church — their calling, their mission, and the tradition they bequeathed to every generation.
267 pontificates
