FIVE ANTI-CATHOLIC MYTHS
Slavery, Crusades, Inquisition, Galileo, Holocaust
Author: Gerard M Verschuuren
Softcover - 190pp One curious feature of our times is the co-existence of a nearly unimaginable rapidity of communications with an at-times slow, even glacial, movement of ideas. Narratives that have lost any genuine explanatory power, along with the biased historical scholarship of earlier centuries, have become entrenched in the minds of millions, seemingly immune from being dislodged. Such simplistic queries as What about Galileo? What about the Crusades? are still meant to draw Catholics up short, a conversation-stopper. Scholarship of recent decades, however, has thrown new light on these matters, and is finally allowing the truths of history to become more widely known. Here is the distillation of the best of that recent historical work for students and adults alikean unadorned laying bare of the truth. The five myths analyzed in this book have each been shaped by post-Reformation propaganda and Enlightenment prejudices and their residual effects. With Gerard Verschuurens new Catholic book, Catholics now have sure and ready replies to these baneful narratives. Add to the cart or wish list above.
