“In a culture where millennials are leaving the Church at staggering rates because they are convinced that organized religion is irrelevant and irreconcilable with modern science, Father Robert Spitzer has developed free online science based apologetics and usable resources to answer this generations doubts about the reality of God.

“The Credible Catholic program has been an incredibly fascinating way to learn about the major questions of life! The material is developed and presented in a way that any ordinary layperson can understand the profound wisdom, depth, and knowledge of the great philosophers and theologians.

“Our 6, 7 & 8-grade students constantly raise intriguing questions during our Religious Education classes. These age groups continuously challenge our catechist/volunteer teachers because they want to think about their faith in a deeper way. We found the 7 Essential Modules to be our way to respond to the need of our students and equip our volunteer teachers to lead our students in a more meaningful conversation.
As said, the parents truly appreciated it and for most, it brought a refreshing new approach to table dinner discussion with the entire family. Some parents mentioned that it provided an avenue to be closer and to have a more open relationship with their growing teens.
The sessions became interesting as we moved from one module to the next. Having Father Spitzer join the Q & A portion towards the end was a PLUS factor. His response to the questions raised which leads from one discussion to the next was a BONUS. We will continue to include the 7 Essen-tial Credible Catholic Modules to our middle school Religious Education program.”

“Truly an awe inspiring experience, helping me to sharpen my spiritual axe, reaffirming what I al-ready understood, correcting what I misunderstood and awakening me to what has been lost. The Credible Catholic Series is lucid, well organized and meticulously laid out, all of which are important elements needed if your goal is returning proper apologetics to the educational system.

“Ever since I first encountered Fr. Spitzer’s work, I was awestruck by the depth, rigor, logical ra-tionale tied to theory, and the coherence in which he presented the principal tenets of the Catholic faith. For the first time in my life, somebody articulated for me the vastness, depth, and intelligibility of the faith, and presented a perspective that was not only non-dismissive of the hard questions but also profoundly reverential to the curious nature of the human mind.

“With the encouragement of our local archbishop, our entire religion faculty has integrated the core Credible Catholic modules into our curriculum across all high school grade levels. The modules pair well with and complement our existing curriculum framework. The instructional files and addition-al resources are ‘user-friendly’ and versatile. Easily accessible online, Credible Catholic modules of-fer educators and catechists flexibility for both in-class instruction and a ‘flipped-classroom’ ap-proach to independent student learning.
Thank you, Father Spitzer and the Credible Catholic Team, for this generous and valuable contribu-tion to the new evangelization!”

Credible Catholic is Incredible
It excites the mind
It soothes the soul
It makes the Catholic Church
A place kids want to go
It convinces the doubters
And makes them believers
It brings back the drifters
Even the faithful
Will rejoice with delight
With this rock-solid evidence
“Where has this been all my life!”
So thank you Father Spitzer
For Credible Catholic
And for the Magis Center
You’ve again worked your magic!

Credible Catholic has renewed in me my love of studying and learning about my faith. The history, tradition, Scripture mystery, and wonder that I have been able to explore again with new eyes and a new heart, have come at a very important point in my life. The content of Credible Catholic validates many thoughts and feelings that I have about daily life.

I have used a few bits and pieces of “Evidence of God from Science” from Module 2 in my freshman Divine Revelation course. Students have always reacted favorably, and it has helped break down the myth that Science and Religion are at odds. I have never used a full Module, however, I am familiar with them and have always wanted to utilize them in my courses. Because of the volume of infor-mation in the modules, I was never able to figure out how to use them and cover the Theology cur-riculum mandated in the USCCB Framework.
The Credible Catholic LMS is amazing. It has taken what was an overwhelming amount of infor-mation that was complicated and now presents clear, manageable, and simple, but important and powerful material that anyone can follow. The LMS is very easy to navigate and the lessons are ef-fortless. This is a game-changer as far as using Credible Catholic as an enrichment extension for our high school curriculum.
Seriously, I am extremely excited about the LMS!

“The Credible Catholic program was fantastic! Giuliana and I both enjoyed it very much. As an engi-neer myself, I found the “logical arguments” for our faith so compelling. Robert Alderman was a great speaker, as well. He was so funny and passionate about the material. It really kept us engaged. Thanks again for providing such a high quality program.”

“You are doing a really great job out in front. I get emails in my in box from every other Catholic publisher and vendor that says, “click here, sample this book series, etc.” You’re the only ones that offered to teach us HOW! Teach the teachers, teach the parents, teach the children – this is fantastic! A great leadership model in a time when few others are leading who should be!”
