Joe Sixpack is Endorsed By a Cardinal, Bishops, and Priests! Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy is quickly becoming the "light of the laity" throughout the United States. Armed with divinely revealed truth, he is helping lay people navigate the tumultuous waters of a Church in turmoil. See what prelates and priests are saying! The pontificate of Pope Saint John Paul II may be rightly described as a tireless call to recognize the Church's challenge to be faithful to her divinely-given mission in  a totally  secularized society and to respond to the challenge by means of a new evangelization. A new evangelization consists in teaching the faith through preaching, catechesis and all  forms  of  Catholic education, celebrating the faith in the Sacraments and in their extension by means of prayer and devotion, and living the faith by the practice of the virtues—all as if for the first time, that is, with the engagement and energy of the first disciples and of the first missionaries to our native place. A new aid to assist the faithful in knowing and living the faith has been developed by "Joe Sixpack" with the weekly bulletin insert What We Believe ... Why We Believe It.  Each issue of the insert is  a  thumbnail lesson  in  the  Catholic  faith  that  is  attractive  to  parishioners,  easy  to understand, and faithful in every way to the  Magisterium. Joe Sixpack is a well-trained and faithful consecrated Marian Catechist. As the International Director of the Marian Catechist Apostolate, I enthusiastically endorse Joe Sixpack's What We Believe ... Why We Believe It as an innovative means of helping parish priests promote the doctrinal and moral literacy of their parishioners. Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke I encourage you in your mission and thank you for your labors for the Lord! Archbishop Charles Chaput, Archbishop of Philadelphia Although the light of wisdom usually comes to the world "from the top down," sometimes it works the other way around.  What We Believe...Why We Believe It is a splendid example of grassroots evangelization.  Like spiritual wheat its message grows from the good soil of fearless common sense informed by grace.  Abbot Philip Anderson, Clear Creek Monastery I wholeheartedly recommend the new weekly parish bulletin insert "What We Believe...Why We Believe It"' written by my friend, Joe Sixpack… "Joe Sixpack" is a veteran catechist with a God-given gift for explaining the truths of the Faith in terms that are clear, unambiguous, doctrinally correct and firmly rooted in Sacred Scripture, Sacred Tradition and Magisterial teaching. The name "Joe Sixpack" accentuates his remarkable ability to make the teaching of the Church easily understandable for the average guy and gal. His gift for story-telling and the use of concrete examples will help to provide his subscribers with both engaging and thought­ provoking  reading  each Sunday. Pastors who wish to find new catechetical tools to help their parishioners develop a greater understanding and a deeper appreciation for the timeless truths of our Catholic faith will find "What We Believe and Why We Believe It" a valuable resource for instruction and a great little addition to their weekly bulletins.

The Best of What We Believe... Why We Believe It—Volume Three 258 Pages Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy, whose real name is Addledorf Clinkerdaggar Rostefuten (see why he goes by Joe Sixpack?), is one of the most sought after and orthodox teachers of all things Catholic in America today. With his quick wit, engaging style, and in-your-face presentation of immutable truth, Joe Sixpack is a breath of fresh air in a Church marked by scandal, turmoil and a mass exodus of the laity. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy has been a lay evangelist for more than thirty-years. He has made hundreds of converts via one-on-one and small group venues, but that sort of evangelistic activity came to an end when he had a devastating and debilitating stroke in 2016. As it turns out, God had a plan when He allowed Joe to have that disabling stroke. Between the scandals of the last decade, the catechetical illiteracy of the laity, the loss of Catholic lay people at the rate of six leaving to every one new Catholic gained, and his new disabilities, Joe Sixpack began to realize his "new normal" would have to cause his focus to shift from making converts to helping the Catholic laity navigate the tumultuous waters of angst and confusion Satan has stirred within the Church. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy began his new mission by starting the What We Believe... Why We Believe It Sunday bulletin inserts (from which this book originates). Then he launched the wildly popular JoeSixpackAnswers website, began providing free weekly webinars for the lay faithful, producing DVDs and CDs of various Catholic topics, prolifically writing books, and now also hosts The Cantankerous Catholic podcast. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy's motto—"Give Me Souls; Keep The Rest"—explains why he works tirelessly to reach out to as many Catholics he can. Also, another thing he tries to help other Catholics understand and apply in their own lives in these uncertain times is the meaningful message of his battle cry: "Comfort And Conviction Don't Live On The Same Block!" So grab your favorite beverage, find a comfortable and quiet place to read, then prepare yourself to learn how Catholicism can be the most exciting lived experience you have ever known!

A Turning Point for the Catholic Church! As Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy put the finishing touches on this fourth volume, the Pew Research Center released a survey of Mass-attending Catholics that said only 30% of them believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. A decade ago this figure was 70%. The biggest problem is that 100% of Catholics should believe in the Real Presence. It is feckless to believe that 70% of Catholics woke up one morning and suddenly decided that they no longer believed in the Real Presence. These Catholics didn't suddenly decide this, but rather they were never taught in the first place. Since the Eucharist is at the very core of Catholic beliefs, we have to assume that this means at least 70% of Catholics are wholly ignorant of the divinely revealed truths of Catholicism. All four volumes of The Best of What We Believe... Why We Believe It will cure Catholics of their catechetical illiteracy. In fact, these four volumes are the best way to learn the faith in a way that boredom never becomes a problem. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy's unique style of conveying Catholic truth so that every common-Catholic-in-the-pew can understand it, as well as his down to earth explanations of why the Church teaches what she does, makes this book and its companion three volumes must reading if you want to know anything about Catholicism. Joe Sixpack—The Every Catholic Guy uses stories, anecdotes, humor, and no small amount of political incorrectness to convey the constant 2000 year teachings of the Church.
