Catholic Controversies: Understanding Church Teachings And Events In History

Catholic Controversies: Understanding Church Teachings And Events In History gives Catholics and others seeking the truth a valuable resource for correcting the most common misunderstandings and myths perpetuated by the media, university professors and the uninformed.

This valuable resource collects the very best articles addressing most of the “hot-button” issues used to undermine both the authority of the Church and the faith of Catholics, especially young people. Contributors include Peter Kreeft, Carl Olson, Thomas Madden, Father John Hardon, Avery Cardinal Dulles, Father Tad Pacholczyk, and so many more of today’s greatest Catholic thinkers.

The topics range from proofs of God’s existence to the Spanish Inquisition to human cloning and stem-cell research.

Learn from some of the best modern thinkers:

• how history and archaeology corroborate the Gospels

• how the Crusades were defensive wars necessary to save Christianity

• overwhelming evidence that the Eucharist contains the Real Presence of Christ

• how contraception undermines happy marriages

• why marriage is inherently heterosexual

• And so much more…

Stephen Gabriel makes it easy to digest these articles by providing an introduction to each topic and a summary, presented in bullet format, of the highlights and conclusions of each article. Every Catholic wishing to be armed with the facts should read this book.
