At RCSpirituality, we have always provided online resources to help in your faith journey. Today, we are pleased to announce<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rcspirituality.org\/online_classroom\/rcsc-101-what-we-profess\/\"> <b>RCSC 101:What We Profess<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a new online course that will help you firm up the basics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since I was a teenager I wanted to study and share my Catholic faith.\u00a0 More than mere ideas, I knew that the Church\u2019s doctrine had to make a difference in my life, my way of perceiving the world, and my place in it.\u00a0 God has offered me many opportunities throughout my life to dive deeper and to share the treasures of what we believe with others.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Perhaps you are feeling a tug at the heart, not just to go deeper, but to get an overview of WHAT WE BELIEVE as Catholics.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/rcspirituality.org\/online_classroom\/rcsc-101-what-we-profess\/\"><strong>RCSC 101: What We Profess<\/strong><\/a> is an overview of Part I of the Catechism of the Catholic Church called the CREED: WHAT WE PROFESS. In it, you cover themes such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does it mean to say \u201cI BELIEVE\u201d?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is dogma?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do other Christians follow sola scripture, but the Catholic Church acknowledges tradition as part of revelation?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do we follow a Pope?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who is Jesus Christ and how did the Church come to a deeper understanding of his person and salvific mission?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do we honor Mary and the saints?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Church and how are we a part of it?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does the Church teach about heaven, hell, purgatory, and the resurrection of the body?<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I hope you&#8217;ll consider joining us personally or with a group to delve deeper into the significance of what the Church teaches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This may be just the opportunity you need!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In
