Who We Are

Catholic Answers is an apostolate that seeks to explain, defend, and promote the Catholic faith.

Founded by Karl Keating in the late 1980s as a publisher of apologetics tracts, we have grown into a multimedia organization that reaches people through print, video, radio and podcasts, live seminars and conferences, and online platforms—beginning with our flagship website, Catholic.com.

In all our efforts, we strive to combine uncompromising fidelity to Church teaching with gentle charity toward persons—in a way that you don’t need a Ph.D. to understand—along with a healthy sense of humor.

What Happens on This Substack

Here you will find three freshly posted articles each week to help you better understand and explain Catholic teachings and practices, especially those that are often attacked or misrepresented.

You will also find articles that apply Catholic doctrine and moral principles to current events and trending topics, helping you make sense of the issues shaping our culture.

How Much This All . . . Doesn’t Cost

All content on this Substack is free of charge. Not just the previews, not just for the first month. It’s always free, period.

Yes, we always welcome your tax-deductible support of our nonprofit ministry, but it doesn’t cost a dime to read and benefit from our content.
