Very user friendly

I was raised Catholic, but when it came to defending my faith, sometimes I wouldn't know the exact right answers because I was just taught them so long ago. This book not only really helps non-Catholics to understand some points, but also helps Catholics better understand some of the reasons behind many of our beliefs. Very user friendly for Catholics and non-Catholics alike!

Awesome Book, Every Catholic should own one! :)

This is a awesome book. It has so many answers to every question you or your family may have. Ordered on a Monday night & received within a week. It's a great gift for Confirmation.. Wish I had one a lot sooner.

Straightforward, orthodox, and concise

As its name suggests, "The Catholicism Answer Book" provides answers to common questions Catholics and non-Catholics ask about the Catholic faith. It covers a wide range of topics, from the nature of God to the liturgy to Church history. The answers provided are straightforward, orthodox, and concise. Each response is essentially a mini-essay on the subject under discussion. Controversial topics are handled exceptionally well, including questions concerning the Crusades, the Protestant movement, the all-male and celibate priesthood, and Latin in the liturgy. The book would be especially useful to those considering reception into the Church, since it covers areas "cradle" Catholics may take for granted. Trigilio and Brighenti infuse the text with their characteristic wit and humor; a question on liturgical movements and gestures is entitled "Why all the Catholic calisthenics?" That said, it would have benefited from a better editor. There are a handful of typos, including the misspelling of Origen's name. The book also confuses the Great Schism, a period during which French kings moved the papacy to Avignon France and three "popes" claimed the chair of Peter, with the Eastern Schism, the eleventh-century split between Catholicism and the Eastern churches. Although some historians use the term "Great Schism" to describe either event, here it is used in reference to both (cf: questions 211 and 218.) Hopefully, these errors will be corrected in a subsequent edition of this otherwise commendable book.
