A Must-Read for Catholics and Protestants,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catholicism and Fundamentalism (Paperback)
Keating's books is well reasearched and well written. He succesfully and validly defends the Church against Protestant criticisms. What was probably my favorite aspect of the book was how logical Keating's reasoning was. Being a student of philosophy, I constantly look for sound arguments. Keating provides just these type of arguments throughout.A warning to Protestants: be careful. This book will call into question all that you ever thought about the Catholic faith.

Catholicism...."Satan's Masterpiece" or "Bride of Christ"?,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catholicism and Fundamentalism (Paperback)
Grand Slam Home Run!!!! Karl Keating exposed the lunatic fringe of fundamentalism while explaining catholic doctrine in a clear manner. Nearly all areas of controversy are covered. Before you leave the Catholic Church, you owe it to yourself to read Keating's book. Most entertaining is the section on "Fanciful history of the Catholic Church". The main charge of fundamentalists is that the catholic beliefs were adopted from paganism after the reign of Constantine in 313 a.d. when christianity was legalized. If one only looks to the catholic church teachings PRIOR to the 3rd century, it is clear that the church was VERY CATHOLIC even then. Therefore the pagan accusation is totally groundless. 100 million "bible christians" killed during the Inquisition?? Don't believe that either. The number may be several thousand unfortunately, but the victims weren't exactly "bible christians". Many of the victims were propogating incredible heresy such as marital sex being evil etc...No....the Catholic Church isn't perfect, it has warts galore over the centuries because it is run by imperfect human beings. Keating coveres it all. Don't be embarassed if you fell for that 400 year old lie that the Catholic Church is Pagan...I fell for it too, until I read this book and my fears were put to rest. Last year, I humbly re-joined the Catholic Church and learning to defend the Bride of Christ against those lunatics that simply don't understand catholicism.

Me thinks they protest too much!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Catholicism and Fundamentalism (Paperback)
I picked this book up again after a encounter with a "Born Again" exchristian. I surprised this poor lost soul by asking him in response to his question "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?"by asking him, "Where is that in the Bible?" He became very angry with me because he could give no verse. It is not in the bible and for the most part most of the negative reviewers in this thread really aren't "into" the bible.Repeatedly and sadly the "Protesters" (That is what a Protestant really is, a protester against the RCC.) miss the pointof Keating's book. I have a few questions... Who told you about Jesus? Did the Bible speak to you by itself?(Audio Tapes don't count) Who told you it was infallible? Who points out the individual scripture quotes you claim support your arguments? Who divided the Bible into Chapter and verse? Who has translated the Bible for you into English? The answers to all of these questions a member of faith community. Keating asks the simple question, How old are the oldest manuscripts of the NT? The answer is that there was a community of christains before the NT scriptures. Just as there was a people of God before the book of Genesis was written. So the question really is what christian community did the bible come from? Since most of the other christain communites that are represented by the protesters have no claim to be the oldest christain community on the earth and in heaven they must and will always protest against the RCC. If they don't protest aginst the RCC they have no purpose. Take a look at these definitions of what a protest is. ... 1 : a solemn declaration of opinion and usually of dissent. 2: the act of objecting or a gesture of disapproval <resigned in protest>; especially : a usually organized public demonstration of disapproval Keating's book simply defends the RCC by pointing to the evidence and exposing the false prostests for what they are, false. Bishop Fulton Sheen said, There very few people who hate the the Catholic Church for what it is. There are many who hate it for what they think it is.
