Practical Guide to Catholic Christianity presents and rebuts Protestant Criticism
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
This book is a very practical guide to what Catholics believe. It is written is practical style, setting forth in each chapter a basic tenant of Catholic faith, followed by a series of Protestant objections and Catholic Responses to each objection. This format makes the book easy to follow and a great source for quick research or for group study discussions. As a protestant, I am trying to educate myself on what Catholics genuinely believe, and I've concluded that the best source for that information is not from Protestant critics but from those who are themselves Catholic. The author, a Catholic priest whose ministry emphasizes teaching about what it means to be Catholic, quotes from much Scripture in this book and provides citations and footnotes to numerous Church documents to support the points made. For purposes of gaining a better understanding of what the Catholic Church teaches, I highly recommend this book. It is also beneficial for developing a mutual sharing of faith between Protestants and Catholics so that each can better understand what they have in common as well as their actual differences. From that point, a more meaningful, productive and spiritual conversation may follow.
VERY useful!

I have spent a lot of time searching for a book that encompasses a defense of all the common objections raised against the Catholic faith. Having used several other books of this type in the past, this book is by far the best I have seen on the subject. It is very thorough in its defense, quoting many other popular Catholic apologists, and neatly pulls all of these sources together in one easy to read volume. The defense is laid in in a clear Q & A format with many helpful diagrams. It is the perfect book to buy for inquring minds into Catholicism. I myself have purchased several copies just for that very purpose.
A Fair and Honest Defense of the Faith
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Father Romero has put together, in a readable and enjoyable format, a wonderful explanation of Catholic belief as rooted in sacred scripture.Some of the topics include the Catholic understanding on: 1) How we are saved; 2) the authority of the Pope; 3) Papal infallibility; 4) the communion of the saints (i.e. intercessory prayer); 5) Mary's Immaculate Conception and many more.The chapters are short and concise. They are filled with biblical proof-texts. Moreover, Father Romero's tone is very fair. In short, a protestant interested in knowing what the Catholic Church really teaches would not put the book down feeling as though he or she has been disrespected.For Catholics, this book is a must because you will learn to defend your faith. For protestants, you will find out what the Church really teaches and why.I wish I had this book 10 years ago. God bless & get the book.
Solid, Informative and Well Organized
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This is a well-organized, informative and solidy orthodox presentation of common Protestant questions regarding Roman Catholicism with reasons why Catholics believe as they do. Protestants may be quite surprised to learn the background and history of Catholic worship styles and customs, it is not necessarily what their pastors have taught them. Catholicism is NOT anything near the so-called "pagan religion" that some Protestant pastors/teachers say it is. Far from it. Catholics that want a solid support against the New Age/Liberalist/Revisonist trends that are scandalizing the faithful will find this book very refreshing. Father Romero has done a great service to both Protestants and Catholics with this book. I will recommend it to all my Christian friends, both Catholics and Protestants.
A Deacon's thoughts on "Unabridged Christianity"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I love this book!Fr. Romero has put together Catholic answers to common Protestant objections to tennents of the Catholic faith in a clear, easy to follow, meaningful format. He uses a chapter of his book to focus on a subject. He first shows us what the Catholic Church teaches about that subject, he then presents the common objections (misunderstandings) Protestants have on the subject, clears up those misunderstandings using Scripture and finally shows what the early Christians (those who followed the Apostles) believed about those subjects.This book was an excellent source for developing and teaching a class on "Understanding Your Catholic Faith".I recommend it to Catholics and Protestants alike.Read it then decide for yourself.
