Read the Catechism and Bible first
Instead of reading this book, I suggest we all start with reading two of the most solid Catholic books there are. The Cathecism of the Catholic Church and the Bible. This is where you start to learn about what Roman Catholicism is or isn't. Can you be Catholic and Pro-Choice. See CCC 2270. The CCC has all the answers to your questions. Yes, there are many people who claim to be Catholic but you can use the CCC which has all the social and other teachings of the church laid out in easy to read fashion About 70% of the book is scripture which helps put the Bible in context. If one could read the Bible and get all they needed, why are there over 28,000 protestant denominations. Start with the $8 CCC and the RSV-SE Ignatius version of the Bible (easy to read and good translation) and then branch out. God Bless.
