Calefactory » My Catholic Faith

My Catholic Faith is traditional Catholic catechism in pictures. It ranges from the Old Testament to the New Testament, and then right up to its publishing year 1954. The original book had all pictures done by hand sketches in B&W, and these pictures were converted into high resolution color images by an AI program.
