Catholics United for the Faith
 
 


"If you have a question about Catholic teaching, Faith Facts provide a clear, accurate, and understandable explanation of what it is we believe as Catholics." --Archbishop Charles J. Chaput

Faith Facts provide concise, complete, and easy-to-read answers to specific questions about the Catholic faith. They explain what the Church teaches on important issues of faith, morals, and discipline. Faith Facts also explain the reasons behind these teachings--reasons that are found in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the documents of the Magisterium. If you have a question about what the Church really teaches, chances are there's a Faith Fact that can give you the answer you're looking for.

UPDATED LAY WITNESS PROTOCOL: CUF has updated its "Lay Witness Protocol." Please read this document for guidance on using Faith Facts.

From Our Founder

To quite an extraordinary degree we laymen have been invited to serve; we have received a visitation; God through His Church is telling us things. As we have said in our CUF brochure, we believe that the Council documents on the Apostolate of the Laity and on the Church are “prophetic” in having seen that the Church is entering the “age of the laity.” That means the response of large numbers of laymen to the call to perfection; it means an awakening to the depth and totality of Christ’s call; it means a real conversion into that leaven, that salt, that light which Christ has asked-and allows-us to be, so that the world can be permeated by the spirit of the Gospel, can be raised as by leaven, can be given savor as by salt, can be illumined as by a great light shining in a great darkness. That, we believe, is the task of evangelization assigned to the laity.
