Publisher Description
A practicing Catholic defends the faith and offers a passionate response to current anti-Catholic opinion.
In Why Catholics Are Right, author, columnist, and practicing Catholic Michael Coren examines four main aspects of Catholicism as they are encountered, understood, and more importantly, misunderstood today. Beginning with a frank examination of the tragedy of the Catholic clergy abuse scandal, Coren addresses some of them most common attacks on Catholics and Catholicism. Tracing Catholic history, he deconstructs popular and frequent anti-Catholic arguments regarding the Church and the Crusades, the Inquisition, Galileo, and the Holocaust. He examines Catholic theology and central pillars of Catholic belief, explaining why Catholics believe what they do: papal infallibility, immaculate conception, the Church rather than Bible alone. Finally, he explores the dignity of life argument and why it is so important to Catholicism.
In this challenging and thought-provoking book, Michael Coren demolishes often propagated myths about the Church's beliefs and teachings, and in doing so, opens a window onto Catholicism, which, he writes, "is as important now as it ever was and perhaps even more necessary."
Customer Reviews
Excellent book
Great overview of all that is good about Jesus' one true Church!
A Great Book For Catholics and Non-Catholics Alike
After reading this book, I must say I was pleasantly surprised. It is not an attack on protestants but is rather Mr. Coren's attempt to clear up confusion about the Catholic Church's theology and history. While the book does reference reference the Bible often, Michael incorporates a heavy amount of history to make his points. Being an Evangelical, I found the book enlightening and felt it helped me to better understand my own faith and gave me a greater appreciation for the Catholic Church. I think anyone, Catholic or not, who read this book with an open mind would find themselves appreciative of Mr. Coren's thoughts and would greatly enjoy the book.
Why Catholics Are Right
Should be read by all, especially Catholics, to dispel some of the great myths about the Church. And especially to learn some of the misunderstood truths.
