The Sincere Christian (Bishop George Hay) - A Catholic Catechism from Scotland
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.

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
