What’s so important about being Catholic?

In his weekly Montana Catholic Register “Reflections” column, Bishop Murphy emphatically emphasizes the importance of developing a firm grasp of our identity as Roman Catholics. He says, “At the heart of our tradition is the dramatic encounter between God and the human race which reaches its climax in the person of Jesus of Nazareth.” This development and growth in a Catholic identity is a prerequisite to passing our faith traditions on to the next generation.
