07/12/2004: "Question of the Day: Are you qualified to answer my question?"

Now that I'm starting my "Question of the Day", you might be asking yourself, why should I ask this bozo my question? What are his qualifications?

The short answer is, I'm not qualified. I'm just a meager Catholic convert who has helped out with my parish's RCIA process (how new converts join the Catholic Church) for the last 4 years. I read a lot and I've made it my goal to learn as much as possible about the Faith.

The only people who can authoritatively teach the Faith in the Catholic Church are the bishops. They gain their authority from their apostolic succession, their unceasing line of authority, that dates back to the Peter, leader of the Apostles, to whom Christ charged with spreading and defending the Faith. That said, I'll do my best to relate all that I've learned from them and those that they've taught. All feedback and additional information/insights are welcome.
