Catechism of the Catholic
Church for Protestants,
(and non-Christians) Program
(CCCFPP)
Due
to the passing
of my mother, Dorothy Humphrey
on January 31, 2011,
I will
have to run this and my
other apostolates,
sporadically,
and on a donation basis. I've
been unemployed for a long
period of time and the Lord
has not provided me with
any work where I can support
myself or my apostolates.
Your prayers for my
apostolates and employment
would be appreciated.
If you have heard positive
things about the specific
packages I have put together
and sent to people and wish
to donate to support this
apostolate,
you can do so
at:
If you know of any famous
sports figures or people
who are Catholic and financially
prosperous, who would be
willing to fund this apostolate,
please have the e-mail me @ mike.humphrey@rcn.com.

Just click on the Catechism
For some browsers like Google Chrome, the clicking on the image of the Catechism does not work. LOL
You would think with the money Google has, they could afford a browser that works.
Nevertheless, if this is the case
with you, please e-mail the type
of browser with version number (e.g.
IE 7.0) along with the information
in numbers 1 to 10. below to:
mike.humphrey@rcn.com
Please put the following
text exactly as it is below in the
subject line of your e-mail request:
I am a seeking Protestant who wants
to participate in the CCCFPP.
How does it work?
If any Protestant
is:
being drawn
to the faith
thinking about
becoming a Catholic OR
is just interested
in learning more about what the
Roman Catholic Church believes
and why, yet lacks the money
if they send me their first and last
name along with their snail/postal
address I'll send them a FREE, Vatican
approved, copy of Catechism of the
Catholic Church. Just tell me where
you want me to mail it by sending
me your postal address. Although
in places this program may be referred
to as the CCCPP, sincere seeking
Jewish or Muslims who are thinking
about becoming Catholic are welcome
as well!
There is only
one practical prohibition: I'm
assuming that you:
To visitors
outside the United States of America:
I am sorry.
Due to the cost
of shipping Catechisms around
the world and a lengthy period
of unemployment I have had, I
CAN ONLY ship to
the 50 United States of America.
I hope the Lord will provide me
with the finances to keep this
apostolate going.
Due to the increase
in visitors to our site, I'll do
my best to keep this apostolate going,
as I am the only one funding this
program. Please keep this program
in your prayers.
EXCEPTION TO THIS:
Because all of
us at AskACatholic appreciate
and respect those in the military
and their service to our country
in protecting us from demonic
forces around the world, both,
the FREE Catechism and Rosary
only programs, are open to
all non-Catholic military personnel
who are overseas. I wish I could
open this to Catholic military
personnel as well, but I don't
think I could maintain it. We
just have too many members in
the Church.
REQUIRED INFORMATION THAT MUST BE IN YOUR E-MAIL :
Your FIRST and LAST name.
Your current denomination (Christian is not good enough. Catholics are Christians.)
OR
the mainstream protestant denomination you were brought up in.
(If you don't belong to mainstream protestant faith or are church hopping,
Non-denominational Christian is OK.
Don't say
Protestant as the purpose of this question is to find theological
background information.)
I only have SOFT cover Catechisms
Your complete, fully spelled out postal address (No state abbreviations) including country and zip code.
Either YES or NO to - Do you wish to share you e-mail with other participants
who have participated in THIS program and may be on a similar faith journey as
you are currently on.
Pick three of your favorite color(s):
Blue, Red, Green, Pink, Brown, White, Aqua Blue, Light Blue, Policeman
Yellow, Luminous, Black
Pick one:
I have both a VCR that can play VHS tapes and an audio cassette player that
can play audio cassette tapes.
I have neither a VCR nor audio cassette player.
I have a VCR but NO audio cassette player.
I have an audio cassette player but no VCR.
Do you want to be on our new Web Page for Wannabes.
If interested, go to this page, click
on the "Click here" link on that page, where it says: Start sharing
what you have learned
Optional but helpful: Due to the type of new media evangelization
we are involved in, I never have any idea of how old each participant is.
If you can share with me your "age
range", it will help me, help you. I can drop in more age-appropriate
material. e.g. If you are 16-19 I may have a
teen Catechism I can send you.
Check the NO-NO criteria below AND if you share this program with other
Protestant or non-Catholic friends PLEASE send them to THIS registration
page. I receive a lot of e-mails from interested participants who only send me
only a portion of all the required information.
I HAVE developed a custom cover for the SOFT COVER Catechism of the
Catholic Church, and would like to sell it to a company willing to support
me financially. All I would ask in return are FREE Catechism covers for
my Catechism apostolate. If you ARE the head of a company OR know someone that heads a company that
is interested in helping me you can e-mail
me about the issue.[As a suggestion. If I send you a SOFT cover, you can go to a local
book or religious store and search for a sturdy Bible Cover that will fit
and protect your Catechism from environmental elements.]
Nothing
will be sent unless I
have been e-mailed information
from numbers
1. through 10. above.
For short, if
you cannot read the above instructions,
you won't be able to read any
Catechism
I send you, so it would
be a waste of my time and money.
The FREE Holy Rosary Program for
Protestants program, has
been incorporated into this program,
so you don't need to apply to two
different programs. You can use the
same graphic at the bottom of this
page to apply to both. If you do
not think you will have the time
to read the Catechism, but are still
interested in the Holy Rosary, you
can apply for that program HERE.
NO-NO's
- DO NOT use
any other e-mail other
then YOUR OWN! An
e-mail where I can
reach YOU personally.
Although it is a minority,
it has been very heartbreaking
when I send a Catechism
to someone and I NEVER
hear back from them
via a response or
confirmation e-mail.
(It
has happened eight
times!)
DO
NOT use
this apostolate to
send a Catechism to
any one else other
then oneself.
If you think a Protestant
friend or family member
may be interested in obtaining and reading
a FREE Catechism of the
Catholic Church, tell them
to visit this page.
This apostolate is NOT to
be used as an indirect mechanism
for false
evangelization. As
Catholics, we do NOT believe
in coercing people to do
something they are not interested
in and the
there is a lot of money
and effort put into this
apostolate.
It is intended for sincere
seeking non-Catholics.
Out of courtesy to me and the time
and effort I put into this free apostolate,
in Christian charity I would expect:
that you are there when I send
it
THAT YOU E-MAIL ME WHEN YOU RECEIVE
IT and
most of all: that you
take the time to read it. :)
Why
am I doing this?
I
don't think someone should
have to pay, to learn about
a faith they know little or nothing
about.
It's
that simple! When
I faith-share with my colleagues
I remind them that the enemy
is not a person; the enemy
is ignorance of the faith!
Like my good friend, Fr. Dan
use to say:
"Faith-sharing
is just one beggar showing
another beggar where The Bread
is!"
Side
note: I tend
to throw in a few extra things.
If you are not interested in
them, just respectfully put
them in your top desk drawer.
Out of date, I know. I plan to update
this soon.
From April 2004 to January 5, 2009,
174 Catechisms have been mailed out
to Protestants.

We forgot to ask: Early
in the Apostolate.
Again, I don't want to send out a
Catechism, just
to have it gather dust; If
you want one, it is my expectation
that you will strive to make the
time to read it. :)
If you tell others about this program,
PLEASE tell them to visit this page
so they can read the requirements.

their own :)

If anyone knows of an major
Professional sports figures
who are Catholic and would
be willing to assist the
financial needs of this
apostolate, they can get
in touch with me through

it would be great if a sports
figure from either the
Red Sox,
Patriots,
Celtics,

who would be willing to
help out. I can be reached

NOTE:
There has been big
increase in the number
of non-Catholics asking for
Catechisms this year and I

bear. If you could help with
a donation, it would be appreciated.
