The rise of Protestantism has exposed the Catholic Church to constant criticism centuries after Christianity split. This has seen loop-sided debates and attacks from non-Christians and Christian fundamentalists alike. Catholicism and Fundamentalism is an attempt to provide answers and redirect the attack. It provides insights into Catholic theology, rituals and actions over the years. The book also seeks to wade off attack from bible Christians who hold the view that everything must have its basis in biblical text.
Keating is eager to provide answers that have not been forthcoming from church hierarchy. These answers regard theological stands and actions that are not expressly provided in the bible. This has brought out the rise of a group of people referred to as bible Christians. This is a group of Christians who insist that everything done by any Christian based church must have its genesis in either the Old or New Testament.
The Roman Catholic Church has a long history which plays a significant part in shaping its doctrines. The structure and rituals are not described vividly in any bible version. Among the issues that receive the most missiles from both Christians and other religions is the papacy. Karl endeavors to explain the hierarchy and administrative structure adopted by the Rome.
In the wake of sustained attacks, the author is concerned with the source of funding and motivation of these attackers. Keating has conducted thorough research and exposed underground organizations and individuals who fund such campaigns. This chapter includes the meetings that have been held in America, their agenda and financiers. The aim is to reveal the ulterior influence behind the attacks as opposed to genuine criticism.
It is not lost on observers that the attacks on Roman Catholic faith have also been coming from Christian fundamentalists. They are commonly referred to as bible-Christians because they belief that everything must emanate from the bible. The author has provided a blow to blow account of all rites and doctrines and their scriptural grounding.
Keating Karl does not address non-Catholics and non-Christians alone. The book is directed to Catholics who seek answers to activities, rituals and theological stands that they do not understand. These are followers ready to exit because they do not understand the doctrine. The writer is very simplistic in explaining these concepts to carry on board anyone interested in understanding the faith.
Karl makes a commendable case for the Catholic Church. Readers who have picked the book admit that it was an eye opener for them. Every assertion made has been substantiated. This is a major mark of credibility and explains the popularity of the title since its release decades ago.
Karl Keating uses very simple language and imagery to present arguments that would be considered as complex. This has endeared the book to the common reader despite handling very intricate global issues. The trips back in time in search of evidence provide an excellent learning experience to readers. It is an opportunity to understand the Catholic faith either as an outsider or an insider. The book has been released in paperback, hard-cover and audio at very reasonable and affordable price.
