Just another Great tool to witness to the millions of catholics trapped in the false cult of “catholicism”. The best tool, however, is the King James bible…….

A very even-handed and well-balanced view of Roman Catholicism. Many other books either paint Roman Catholicism with a broad brush or ignore the vital differences between Catholicism and evangelical Protestantism. Ankerberg does neither.
Of course, contrary to what some readers would say, there is no inherent contradiction in citing the Pope’s own words to show that the Catholic gospel is faulty. After all, merely citing the Bible does not guarantee correct teaching, as any Catholic theologian would know.

I am an ex-Catholic, youngest of 11 children, went to mass every Sunday of my youth, confirmed etc. Then I was saved and learned the difference between religion and faith, fear and grace, history and truth. When Chist said “it is finished”, it really was. We are justified by Christ work on the cross, nothing else, we are saved by grace, nothing else. There are good Christians in the Catholic church, but one will have a very hard time growing in their relationship with the Lord, by staying within a doctrine that places church history and papal perfection on par with the word of God. Just try and find a Bible in a Catholic church and that tells you pretty much what you need to know. This book is wonderful and absolutely accurate on revealing the false teachings within the Catholic church and how they clash with SCRIPTURE. No matter what I say, you will not understand until God has removed the scales from your eyes, and only he can do that.

This is part of a three book series the authors have written to counter the major movements that run counter to Christianity. I would imagine that you are surprised to see the Mormons and the Catholics on this list. However, the authors succinctly, yet deeply expose the misinformation that populate these organizations. While Catholicism is basically Christian and has few errors, there are major points that a true Christian will not be able to support if he or she is determined to be Christian. Mormons are shown to be an outright cult, and particularly in light of recent events, the book on Islam can be a bit scary. It reveals in a sentence or two that Saddam is very close to being Hitler.
You may be shocked, but you will certainly be educated and more ready to defend your faith once you have read these short, scholarly books. The other two books in this series is The Facts On Islam (ISBN 0736911073) & The Facts On The Mormon Church (ISBN 07369111146).

Just the facts…
John Ankerberg, John Weldon, and Dillion Burroughs continue their The Facts series with a look at the Roman Catholic Church, it’s beliefs, and its origins. The authors answer 14 questions concerning the faith. One section discusses the most recent changes in the Catholic faith. I found the discussion on the Pope and Mary most interesting. Is the Pope infallible? Do the Catholics worship Mary and why?
I knew very little concerning the beliefs of the Catholic Church when I began reading this short book. I found it both informative and interesting. It is written from a Protestant viewpoint.
