The attack on "Romanism" by "Bible Christians" written by Karl Keating

I'm about halfway through this book right now, and it reads like this message board. When you look at how the popular anti-Catholic movement came about, and the lies, the flat out lies, that some of the "Christians" made up and all of these "Christians", like the ones on this very message board, repeat ad infinitum without ever doing the slightest bit of research to show how bogus they are, it makes me absolutely sick. It also makes me wonder if some people, knowing the truth, would agree with it, or continue on with blinders so that they would not be wrong.

Anyhoo, I encourage all Catholics to read this book just so you can have answers to the charges that are laid against us constantly.

I've read it.

It is an excellent book

Funny you didn't invite any none Catholics to read it. couldn't it be because it may full of apologetic prejudices. Its always defending a positional argument based on facts and evidences from the human and historical standpoint. I've heard thousands of the arguments of apostolic succession. No its not the positional argument that tells me something is wrong. Its when I read the scripture that tells me something is wrong. I can research history for ever and it would not change things. So you only want Catholics to become skilled apologists, so they can tell none Catholics they just don't have their facts straight. But that only serves to solidify Catholic thought which only satisfies the carnal mind.

Any way Im not against Catholics just the institution that bases authority purely on a positional argument
God bless

Actually it's not funny at all. The book wasn't written for Protestants, per se, it was written for Catholics. It was written by a Catholic apologist and it explains Fundamental Christians in a way that many Catholics can understand. It is geared toward a particular audience, this is, however, still a free country, so anyone can read the book if they want to, they just might not enjoy it as much.

Sorry if you didn't feel included.

Catholicism and Fundamentalism is another book written by Karl Keating. It's a great read!!
