A Summary Review Of Catholicism And Fundamentalism

By Olivia Cross


Kart Keating has condensed a formidable response to questions asked by Bible Christians and Protestants regarding the Catholic faith to produce the 360 pages book. Catholicism and Fundamentalism has led many lukewarm Catholics to return to their faith and Non-Catholics to convert. This book has had tremendous impact since it was releases in 1988 by the Ignatius Press.

Among the first questions answered is where most Protestants get their information about Catholicism. The author has gone underground to reveal the activities of an anti-catholic movement that is growing in the United States. The book addresses ways of sustaining an argument about faith and still maintaining your peace.

The subject of anti-catholic movements forms a large part of the discussions by Keating. Their activities are elaborated alongside their financiers, location and leaders. Some of these leaders are in the corporate world while others are politicians. Religious leaders also make it to this list. The author provides a detailed answer to the meaning of infallibility.

Keating Kart pays attention to bible Christians and their attack of Catholic rites, dogmas, faith and systems, among others. The author is skeptical about their assertion that all activities within any Christian church must emanate from the bible directly and not by implication. The answers provided will convince atheists, Non-Christians, Protestant and lukewarm Catholics alike.

The history of the Roman Catholic Church has found its way into this book. The chapters provide answers to accusation that the church is very conservative and resistant to change. Kart adopts an informative tone on a section where one would expect a lot of justification and defense.

The writer has delved into the assertion that Catholicism is not real Christianity. This is an accusation that is thrown to Catholics by fellow Christians who subscribe to the thought that there must be strict adherence to biblical direction. The main areas of attack as described by Kart include the dogma surrounding Mary and her privileged position within the church teachings.

Papacy and the trend over the years continue to elicit controversy. What Kart Keating has done is to explain the circumstances that surrounded each controversial papacy. This includes an instance when the Vatican based church was said to have more than one pope. Beyond the explanation, details about how the situation was resolved are given. This chapter is very enlightening to anyone who reads it with an open mind.

Kart has addressed issues that emanate from non-Christians regarding the bible. This includes providing an answer to the question, Was the bible inspired by God? This is done alongside the history of different books and their authors. The chapter is used to dispel the theory that the book was the work of conspiracy theorists. The reader will also understand why the Catholic bible contains seven more books that are not in the protestant bible.

The book ends with a challenge to Catholics to read the right books in order to understand their faith. There is a recommendation for books that should be found in the library of any catholic faithful. They range from the bible to catechism titles and history books. This book has proven to be an invaluable source of insight for Catholics and Non-Catholics alike.
