Description: This account goes back to the early Christian creeds to uncover the roots of modern Catholic thinking. It avoids theological technicalities, and throws light on aspects of the Church's institutional structure and liturgical practice that even Catholics can find baffling: Why go to confession? How are people made saints? What is 'infallible' about the Pope?--P. [4] of cover.
