The Catholic Church offers RCIA classes. These are night classes for adults wanting to learn through intense study of the Bible and the history of the Church. You’ll find out why we do what we do, and delve into the original Greek. For instance John 21:15-19 never made any sense to me until the priest explained that in Greek, there are three completely different words for “love”; as well as what later happened to Peter as Jesus predicted here. There were so many layers of meaning that I’d just never realized were there. I really recommend RCIA.
You could call the diocese or any Catholic Church and inquire.

And yet the complaint from SO many of our FR Catholics is that many Catholics are poorly catechized.

... and the history of the Church.

It's been said that the victors write the history books.
