=**Questions I have been asked over the years:**= Great question. The straightforward answer: yes, I am teaching you Catholicism. In the whole year, there are two small points in which I offer my own personal opinion, and both of these are **clearly labeled** as being my opinion. The USCCB **Framework**, the two Junior Theology text books, the **Bible** and the **Catechism**, and the courses the Church had me take in the seminary. I find the text books too slow to use in class, so I read them cover-to-cover, outlined them, and then incorporated the best parts into this class.
