The Truth of Catholicism: Ten Controversies Explor
Category: Religion: Catholic: Apologetics
Author: George Weigel
Copyright/published Year: 2001 by Harper Collins

Binding: Hardcover
What does being a Catholic mean? Is there a distinctively
Catholic way of seeing things? What does the Catholic Church
teach about the human condition -- about our lives, our loves,
and our destiny? In The Truth of Catholicism, best-selling author
George Weigel explores these perennial questions through the
prism of ten contemporary controversies.
The Catholic Church may be the most controversial institution
in the world. Some find its teachings inexplicable, puzzling,
even cruel. George Weigel suggests that we look at Catholicism
and its controversies from "inside" the convictions that make
those controversies not only possible, but necessary The truths
of Catholicism then come into clearer focus as affirmations and
celebrations of human life and human love, even as they challenge
us to imagine a daring future for humanity and for ourselves.
Is Jesus uniquely the savior of the world? Does belief in God
limit our freedom? What are we doing when we pray? Is the moral
life about rules or about happiness? Doesn't suffering contradict
the biblical claim that God is good? How does the Catholic Church
think about other Christians and about other great world
religions? Are Catholics safe for democracy? What will become of
us? In an engaging, accessible style, George Weigel leads us
through these and other questions into the truth of Catholicism:
the truth about a God passionately in love with his creation, the
truth about a love that creates a vast, liberating terrain on
which to live a fully human life.
