Worth Reading!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Conversations With Catholics (Paperback)
Mr. McCarthy, a former Catholic, provides a Biblically based, engaging and informative book about Catholics. Unlike The Gospel According to Rome, this book is conversational in nature and focuses on Catholics rather than Catholicism.Catholicism is defined. The RCC stated their beliefs in the Catechism of the RCC, 1994. On the other hand, Catholics don't necessarily know the Catechism or believe it. Mr. McCarthy does an excellent job of explaining this phenomenon, addressing key doctrinal issues and building the reader's understanding of Catholicism. A GOOD READ!

A down-to-earth reflection on Catholic beliefs,
By
This review is from: Conversations With Catholics (Paperback)
The book is structured in such a way that each chapter is an entity in itself. But each chapter has a different focus on a unique doctrinal belief or practice of the Roman Church. The author uses a testimony of the experiences of individuals and the problems they had with the Roman Church. The major Roman doctrine or practice is then briefly highlighted and critiqued with the applicable Scriptural viewpoint. A good easy to read presentation of some of the unique Roman Church doctrines and practices that will give one a general understanding of both basic Christian doctrine and the traditions of the Roman Church from which these unique beliefs evolved.

Read a book before you become a critic.Better yet,Read the Bible cover-t0-cover, then think about what you read.
