Catholic Answers
At He Is Goodness, we are passionate about creating free, approachable, and faithful Bible studies rooted in the Word of God and the teachings of the Catholic Church. We provide clear, definitive answers from where the Church has spoken authoritatively, for example on the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist (which you can find in our Eucharist study here).
That said, we also know that in the middle of a Bible study, someone might raise a big theological question. Or maybe it’s 11:00 PM, and a thought keeps tugging at your heart:
“The Church teaches [fill in the blank] but why or with what reasoning?”
While we always encourage you to bring your important questions to your priest or search the Bible and Catechism, if a study leader is not sure how to communicate truth with clarity quickly, it is also a gift to have a trusted source of reliable, orthodox Catholic answers at your fingertips. That is why we are spotlighting one of our favorite study resources in the journey of faith: Catholic Answers.
What Is Catholic Answers?
Founded in 1979, Catholic Answers is a lay-run apostolate devoted to explaining and defending the Catholic faith. Their mission is to help Catholics (and non-Catholics) better understand what the Church really teaches, and why.
Catholic Answers is endorsed by various Catholic Church leaders, including bishops that affirm their faithful Catholic stance. The company apologists hold a variety of Master’s degrees in Philosophy, Theology, and Bioethics.
These aren’t casual commentators—they are trained theologians and credible teachers rooted in Church tradition.
So whether you are a cradle Catholic, a convert, or just exploring the Church, Catholic Answers offers clear, charitable, and well-researched guidance on just about every topic you can imagine.
Why We Recommend It for Bible Study Users
We create He Is Goodness Bible studies to spark questions, conversation, and deeper faith. Sometimes, that means a question comes up in group that no one feels confident answering. If you do not have time to search the Bible or Catechism, and a priest is not around, Catholic Answers is a quick, online tool for group leaders or participants to easily find a trustworthy explanation that doesn’t compromise the truth or the tone of the Gospel.
It is also helpful when you are walking alongside someone new to the faith who has tough or heartfelt questions.
What Free Resources Does Catholic Answers Offer?
One of the best parts? So much of their content is completely free. Here is a quick look at what is available:

Catholic Answers Conference
If you are someone who loves live teaching and deeper dives into the faith, Catholic Answers also hosts annual conferences. They bring together some of the best Catholic speakers and apologists in the world. While these conferences are ticketed, they are a powerful opportunity to grow, connect, and engage with the Church on a deeper level.
Quick tip:
The company uses the website Catholic.com, but not actually the company’s name. Their social media handle, on the other hand, is brand intuitive and we definitely recommend you check out both!
