Catechism Academy
Contemporary Faith & Life Series — a guided, module-by-module journey through Catholic teaching on the questions of our time.

Module 2
Bioethics
Applying the Church's teaching on human dignity and the nature of love and life to today's hardest medical and ethical questions: IVF and reproductive technology, contraception, abortion, euthanasia, and gender ideology.

Demonology: Spiritual Warfare & the Reality of Evil

Module 8
Pneumatology: The Holy Spirit & His Gifts

Module 10
Christology: The Person & Work of Christ

Module 11

Module 12
Hermeneutics: Reading Scripture Rightly
How the Church actually reads the Bible — the literal and spiritual senses, why context and Tradition matter, and how to avoid the two opposite errors of proof-texting a verse and treating Scripture as merely human literature.

Module 13
Sacramentology: A Deeper Look at the Seven Sacraments
Building on Sacramental Life (Basic), a closer theological look at how the sacraments actually work — sacramental causality, matter and form, validity versus liceity, and why grace flows through real, physical signs rather than through belief alone.

Module 14
Soteriology: How We Are Saved
What salvation actually means in Catholic teaching — grace, faith, and works together, justification, and the Catholic answer to the Reformation-era question of whether we are saved by faith alone, works alone, or something those debates often missed.

Module 15
Eschatology: The End Times & Christian Hope
What the Church actually teaches about the end of history — the Second Coming, the resurrection of the body, the final judgment, and why Christian hope for 'the end' looks nothing like popular end-times fiction.

Module 16
Angelology: Angels, Their Nature & Mission
Who angels actually are according to Scripture and the Magisterium — their nature, their role in salvation history, the reality of guardian angels, and how to think rightly about them without dismissing or sensationalizing them.

Module 17
Church History: From the Apostles to Today

Module 18
Books of the Bible: How Scripture Is Organized
How the 73 books of the Catholic Bible fit together — Law, History, Wisdom, Prophets, Gospels, Epistles, Revelation — so Scripture stops feeling like a random collection and starts reading as one unified story.

Module 19
Liturgy: Understanding the Church's Worship
Why the Mass and the Church's sacred liturgy are structured exactly as they are — the theology behind the words, gestures, seasons, and symbols, so every Sunday becomes something you understand, not just something you attend.

Module 20
Church Organisation: How the Church Is Structured
The Church's actual structure — Pope, bishops, dioceses, parishes, religious orders, and the laity — and how authority, service, and mission are distributed across each, so 'the Church' stops being an abstraction.

Module 21

Module 22
Dogmas: What Catholics Are Actually Required to Believe
The difference between a dogma, a doctrine, and a theological opinion — what the Church actually requires belief in, how dogmas develop without changing, and why this matters for Catholic unity and honest disagreement.

Conciliar Documents: The Church's Councils & Their Teaching
An introduction to the great councils of the Church — Nicaea, Trent, Vatican I, and especially Vatican II — what they actually decided, why they were called, and how their documents still shape Catholic life today.
