Resources for mormons

[anon94603332]

I have a LDS missionary friend who wants to know more about the Church and apostolic succession. He seems to really love the Mass, but this is an entirely new world for him. He asked for some links to thinks he could read. I want to send him things that are simple to understand and theologically correct. The catechism is very heavy and a lot to take in, so I plan on holding off on that until he understands more about the basics of the church. What are some links/websites that I can send him that break down Catholicism into an easy to understand format? Thanks!

(As a side note and as a former Mormon, I found myself going back to the fact that Jesus, Yeshua, was a JEW, living in a Jewish community during the 1st century. That is why I go back to the Jewish roots of Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches)
