Question
I am a Roman Catholic, but often doubt if what I'm believing is right. I wonder with all the religions in the world how do I know I'm right? How should I overcome this.
Peace
Dear Michael Fannon
First, thanks for having the courage to face your doubts. I would continue to ask questions, especially if you doubt or think a teaching of the Chruch wrong. I believe the Church is never wrong but people who teach u something of church's doctrine can be wrong. I also suggest reading Catechism approved by pope John Paul II. Also increase your prayers for wisdom and knowledge of truth. Also read about the saints, and their writings concerning their stuggles with tough issues that had to deal with.
Below is a link to the catechism on line with excellent search engine:

Expertise
I am willing to attempt to answer any question. If I don’t know the answer, I will look-up or pass the question on to friends for feed back. Beside Catholicism (especially the social/moral and the Eastern rites), I am well read on Mormonism and so-called Modern Christian Fundamentalism. Also I study Franciscan History as means of growing in my lay Franciscan calling to holiness in Christ.
