By Olivia Cross


The 360 pages book authored by Keating Kart provides insightful answers to questions posed by bible-Christians, Protestants and non-Christians about the Catholic faith. Catholicism and Fundamentalism also responds to the doubts expressed by Catholics about their faith. This explains the popularity of a book that was released by Ignatius Press back in 1988. It has led to the conversion of Non-Catholics and strengthened the faith of many more Catholics.

Fundamental questions that have been answered in the book include the source used by Protestants to get information about the Catholic faith. It also carries details about the spread of anti-catholic movement in USA. The book gives tips to individuals who engage in arguments on how they can successfully debate and still maintain their cool.

The subject of anti-catholic movements forms a large part of the discussions by Keating. Their activities are elaborated alongside their financiers, location and leaders. Some of these leaders are in the corporate world while others are politicians. Religious leaders also make it to this list. The author provides a detailed answer to the meaning of infallibility.

Kart Keating reveals her stand on bible Christians by defining them and attempting to understand their intentions and mission. According to Kart, these are individuals opposed to the Catholic faith, her rites, dogmas and beliefs on the basis that they are not directly provided for in the scripture. This group comprises of Protestants, evangelical and non-Christians as well as atheists.

Kart has taken time to examine the history of Catholicism over the years. This provides an answer to a fundamental question that is asked regarding the conservativeness of the Rome based church. The tone used in these chapters is informative as opposed to defensive or justification that would be expected of such a subject.

Kart Keating files a rebuttal to the claim that Catholicism has deviated from biblical teachings. The evidence given to support this claim includes rites and beliefs that are not expressly provided for in the bible. Among the issues addressed in this chapter is why Mary takes a central position in the Catholic Church.

Keating has conclusively handled the controversy that revolves around some popes and their reign in history. Some controversies mentioned include an era when there were two popes. The events leading to the situation are clearly explained as well as how a solution was found. It requires a very open mind and the hunger for the right information to read this chapter. It carries a lot of history and explains how it shaped the current church.

Keating Kart has addressed issues raised by Non-Christians on the bible and not necessarily on Catholicism. Among these issues is the bible and whether it was inspired by God. The writer has researched thoroughly on the history of different writers and how these books came into being. The apocalypse books found in catholic bibles are also explained.

The author has taken time to address Catholics interested in understanding their faith by outlining the books that must form part of their library. Beyond the bible, there are catechism and important books on history. The insight provided by this book is amazing and recommended to anyone seeking answers about the Catholic faith.
