The Threshold
Before the Gate
Not everything that bears the name of the Church is faithful to the Church.
The threshold exists to help the soul stop wandering through confusion and begin to recognize what is true, visible, sacramental, apostolic, and received.
If you do not know where to begin, choose the shortcut path nearest to your present need. If you are ready for the whole map, enter by the Twelve Gates below.
Shortcut Paths
Begin with the road nearest to your present need.
These paths are not replacements for the Gates. They are merciful first roads for souls standing in different forms of confusion, fear, duty, or desire for the truth.
The Twelve Gates
The Gates are the main entrances into the City: doctrine, worship, Scripture, authority, Our Lady, exile, and devotion ordered toward the Catholic Faith.
You are closer than you think. But you are still outside.
