The Best of What We Believe. Why We Believe It : Volume Three

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.com 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!

Joe Sixpack-The Every Catholic Guy is obviously my nom de plume. My real name is Addledorf Clinkerdaggar Rostefuten. Not really, but if you stay with me long enough you'll figure out my real name. Mrs. Sixpack (affectionately known to me as "The Warden") and I live in the best rural parish in the whole Archdiocese of St. Louis, Missouri in the United States. Beyond our love of attending the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, we enjoy sitting on our back deck to watch the deer and other assorted wildlife, violating our diet about once a week, and reaching out to share our holy and ancient Catholic faith with other people. Prior to a devastating stroke, I was an architectural wood carver and furniture maker. I also carved gunstocks and tooled & fabricated leather products. I now make up for my inability to do those things by examining and studying the work of others, taking great pleasure in their talents and abilities. After the resurrection, and assuming I make it to heaven, I intend to ask God to give me a new, fully equipped shop to continue pursuing my passions as a craftsman. The best way to learn my name, by the way, is to visit the JoeSixpackAnswers.com website and sign up for a free email course that will teach you things about the Catholic faith you never knew. You will also begin receiving special invitations to attend the free webinars I host each week. All of the webinars, email courses and website are free! I do all this outreach for one purpose and one purpose alone: to help make heaven as crowded as possible! After all, everyone-Catholics and non-Catholics alike-need to learn about the one, true Church established by Jesus. Give me souls; keep the rest! And always remember one thing: Comfort and Conviction don't live on the same block!
