The Catholic Church has remained under constant attack since the emergence of Protestantism centuries ago. Catholicism and Fundamentalism is an attempt to defend the Rome based church from these attacks. The author seeks to explain the faults pointed out by fundamentalists and provide clarity on what seems to be a one-sided attack. The author writes to bible Christians as well as non-Christians whose missiles are directed on Catholic theology.
Karl Keating authors the book in an attempt to correct what is considered as misinformation by the attackers. The proof provided on a point-to-point basis is an attempt to correct assertions by bible Christians that Catholics have invented a new form of Christianity. This chapter provides justification that the pope led church remains grounded in the bible.
The Catholic Church today remains a product of history. Rites and doctrines have emerged as the church grew over centuries. This means that some of the activities and rites are not expressly provided in the bible but rather are a product of actions taken at strategic intervals in the life of this church. Chief among the concerns is the authority wielded by the pope. Keating provides a simple answer to all these assertions that will dispel any doubt.
The attacks on Roman Catholics and their Church cannot be sustained unless there exist coordinated and well funded underground machinery. This is one of the concerns addressed by the author. Keating has exposed well funded and influential individuals and organizations whose target is to bring down the Rome based outfit. Their campaigns, strategy meetings and funding details are included in this book. According to the author, this is a justification that the attacks are not genuine but based on ulterior motives.
It is not lost on observers that the attacks on Roman Catholic faith have also been coming from Christian fundamentalists. They are commonly referred to as bible-Christians because they belief that everything must emanate from the bible. The author has provided a blow to blow account of all rites and doctrines and their scriptural grounding.
Karl Keating does not address non-Christians and non-Catholics alone. The author provides useful insights to help Catholics in their catechism and spiritual growth. This will prevent the mass exodus witnessed in recent years that has been caused by failure to understand their faith as opposed to existing faults. This makes the book a must read for every aspiring good Catholic.
Keating appears to weave a tight case around the Catholic Church. Many ordinary citizens, leaders and opinion guides who have read the book admit that the author took time to answer crucial questions. Every aspect present in the book has been referenced in verifiable documents. This lends credibility to the work and explains why it remains relevant decades after it was first published.
Use of simple language and imagery is a very attractive aspect of the book and makes it fit for all types of readers. What would be considered as complex global issues is simplified for the common reader. There is intense reference to history in a manner that provides a solid basis for every argument. With audio and hard copies of the book in the market, this is a must read for both insiders and outsiders interested in understanding the Catholic faith.
