it's the year of faith and i'm renewing mine. does it matter what one believes? there are many utterances to this question like "religion is not a creed to be believed but a way to live." for me, it matters though. without internal conviction to what you believe, there can be no real faith. "the faith of millions, the credentials of The Catholic Church" is one of the most indispensable books i own. the pages have started turning yellow and falling apart yet all i need to know about my faith is here.
