The Sincere Christian (Bishop George Hay)

About The Sincere Christian (Bishop George Hay)

This is a classic work on the Catholic faith in a question and answer format by one
of the greatest minds of the church in Scotland, Bishop George Hay.

In this catechism he covers every possible topic of interest to the faithful from who Jesus Christ is, to the infallibility of the Pope, to how to deal with people of different faiths.

Bishop Hay was someone who pulled no punches. He was imprisoned as a youth by the British for helping wounded soldiers as a doctor. When he became a bishop he fought
hard for improving Catholic rights under the tough penal laws of his time. As a result
he had his house and chapel burned down.
