The Catechism of the Catholic Church Explained with Faith, Reason, and Science

About Fr. Spitzer’s Resource Book (formally the "Big Book")

Fr. Spitzer created this resource book to provide teachers, catechists, and independent learners access to his dissertation research on the intersection of science, reason, and faith.
