Whats the best intro to Catholicism?
The official Catholic church catechism that was published in the 90s is good. Its older but Baltimore catechism “4” (it is the most adult oriented version) is also really good.
(I would also recommend going to your local mass and introducing yourself to the priest! they are usually very nice. this is actually a good time of year I think that lots of places have “ocia” classes starting in the fall for people who are curious about the church)
I believe there are catholic churches in Iraq but that is certainly a more challenging situation! Would still encourage starting somewhere, even just learning to pray the rosary can bear a lot of fruit.
I'm not Roman Catholic, but Bishop's Barron Youtube channel seems to be a good introduction to Catholicism and how Catholic teaching interacts with with current events. It's not systematic like a catechism, though, but quite thoughtful.
