Any recommendations for a good book on Catholicism? Like a basic Cathechesism.

The Compendium, it is simple Q and A and can be read online here

A good book to pick up is **Catholicism for Dummies (Paperback)
**by John Trigilio (Author), Kenneth Brighenti (Author) “The cut-to-the-chase answer is that Catholicism is the practice of Roman Catholic Christianity…” (more)

Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?

I third Catholicism For Dummies. I wouldn’t quote it in a term paper or anything, but it explains many things very well, and is good for those who don’t know a whole lot yet.

Take a look at Exploring the Catholic Faith: A Guide Through the Basics by Herbert McCabe, O.P. I read it and found it to be short, and very much to the point without watering anything down. Three parts, each part subdivided into several questions about the Church. Beautiful resource for those coming to the faith for the first time.

God Bless

Jon
