Karl Keating has taken on the responsibility of defending the Catholic faith and doctrines from the incessant attacks by non-Christians and Protestants. This is through a host of issues thoroughly addressed in Catholicism and Fundamentalism. It takes a theological, theological and historical perspective in understanding the faith. It is a perfect read for Catholics seeking to strengthen their faith and Protestants or other faiths who wish to understand the Roman Catholic way of life.
The manner of presentation used by Keating has made it easy for non-Catholics to convert through understanding. They have converted because they now understand the fundamental divisive factors. Karl, the founder of Catholic Answers, delves into truths hidden away from Protestants and non-Catholics that lead to the misconceptions. Catholic Answers is a forum used to explain the Catholic faith and doctrines across the world.
Some burning issues handled by the writer include where Protestants get their information from. This is aimed at revealing the genesis of their misconceptions about Catholicism. The argument is that if the sources of information are flawed, it automatically means that decisions and conclusions made from such information must be wrong.
Karl has thoroughly and extensively researched on the history and spread of anti-Catholicism movement in United States. By understanding this history and genesis, Keating seeks to explain events and development that are responsible for what would be called the deliberate spread of falsehood about the Catholic faith.
Catholics and non-Catholics will often engage in arguments about the faith and other principles. This book addresses how to hold an argument on any topic to the end and still remain calm. The idea is to focus on enlightening the opposition instead of winning them over. Understanding is an easier way towards conversion than any other approach.
The Anti-Catholic movement and its spread in USA have been given prominence by Keating. These underground movements have been funding smear campaigns and propaganda against the Catholic Church. Keating reveals their missions, history and activities as well as personalities behind them. There are business men, politicians and ideological figures responsible. Their events and physical address eliminate any doubt about their existence.
Papal Infallibility is central in Catholic Doctrines and therefore a point of attack by many religions and religious groupings. This doctrine implies that the power given by Jesus to Peter makes the office holder incapable of error. He is therefore incapable of mistakes or errors and therefore directs all matters concerning faith and morals. This explains why the decisions of the pope apply without question to Catholics across the world.
Bible Christians are a group of opposition that does not escape the attention of Keating. This group believes that everything done by a Christian must have its basis directly from the bible. These Christians have used this argument method to attack Catholic doctrines that are not rooted in the bible. Other issues mentioned by the writer include the Inquisition and the assertion that Catholics are not real Christians.
Keating uses this book to explain why at one point there were two sitting popes. It also provides answers to whether Catholics get saved or not as well as the claim that the bible was never inspired by God. The manner of coverage of issues by this writer makes the book a Must-Have for those seeking enlightenment about the faith and especially Catholics.
