Who is the Messiah promised in the Hebrew Scriptures? And what light do Jewish interpreters shed on his identity?

Do you sometimes feel like there is something missing to your faith? Do you have a desire of becoming a part of the Church that Jesus originally founded? What does it mean to be "Catholic"? What does the Catholic Church have to offer that cannot be found in any other denomination? What are ten (plus one) good reasons for being or becoming a Catholic?

He established the Catholic Church to continue His saving work and, through her sacraments, to impart His forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life.
