Michael CoranA bestselling author and prominent Catholic defends his faith.Columnist, television host, author, and practicing Catholic Michael Coren examines four main aspects of Catholicism as they are encountered, understood, and more importantly, misunderstood, today.In this perceptive and thought-provoking book, Coren goes behind the headlines to explore some of Catholicism's essential questions and the controversies surrounding the Church. He demolishes often propagated myths about the Church's beliefs and teachings and in doing so opens a window into the Faith.For some Catholicism is the only permanent, absolute body of truth, while for others it is the last permanent, absolute body that has to be opposed and stopped. Why Catholics Are Right opens with a discussion of the abuse scandal and the reality of what happened. Coren then traces Catholic history, with a discussion of the Crusades, Inquisition, Holocaust, and Galileo and how the truth of history has been rewritten by secular critics of faith.He also looks at Catholics and theology, explaining what and why Catholics believe what they do - on the subjects of Papal infallibility, the Immaculate Conception, and the True, historical Church rather than Bible alone. Finally, Coren outlines the pro-life position and why it is so important to Catholicism.In this challenging, provocative, and personal book, Michael Coren draws on history, politics, and theology to present the arguments for the truth of Roman Catholicism.
