Welcome God always speaks the truth to us. Jesus described himself as "the way, the truth and the life" (John 14:6). God encourages us to live in the truth. Faith cannot be built upon a lie, upon something that we believe to be totally false. "Faith seeking understanding" is one of the oldest definitions of theology. We seek to understand as best we can the God we love. Welcome to OnceCatholic.org. We want to help you on your faith journey, on your journey to living honestly before God, with yourself and with others. Here you'll find resources about many topics, including many Church teachings. You'll find a place to share your story or questions with others, to identify which teachings are causing you difficulty. Or you can make a local connection with a welcoming Catholic parish, filled with other people walking the journey of faith. Just as you speak from your heart, we will respond from the heart. (If your questions or concerns are primarily with Church teaching on marriage, please visit our Marriage Issues room.) Conversation Corner
