From the cross gave us his mother to be our mother, too: a singularly holy model, consoler, and intercessor for our spiritual journey. Yet most Protestants—and too many Are anti-Catholic Myths the original "Fake News"? If one sees the end of the world as one of the most compelling tenets of our faith, it changes in a dramatic fashion how one views the world. War and major weather disturbances climate change are signs that the end is coming soon. Even the creation of conflict can be seen as a positive effort to help bring about the last days. There is no reason to work for peace, justice or climate improvement since one is only interfering with God's plan to bring about the end of time. Additionally, there is the notion of dominionism. The book of Genesis grants man dominion over creation. Public norms are to be subjected to religious morals. The article notes that there is little difference between some of Christian fundamentalism and . The goal for Christian fundamentalists is to create a theocracy where the state submits to the Bible. Although the article does not say enough about religious freedom in my estimation, it does say we must avoid a defense of the notion of total freedom, which appears to be a direct challenge to the secularity of the state. It becomes easier to see why fundamentalist believe their freedom of religion is threatened when others who disagree also possess freedom. They see their position as true and therefore others who believe differently have no rights. Many Catholic in the United States seem to hold a similar position. Finally, Spadaro speaks of how the religious right and conservative Catholics have formed a united front on issues they hold in common. These issues include abortion, same-sex marriage and other matters considered moral or tied to values. Their strange , as Spadaro calls it, leads to a xenophobia and Islamophobia that tends to promote hate, deportations and the building of walls rather than bridges. The fundamentalist plan is to set up a kingdom of the divine here on earth. While those Protestants and Catholics who embrace this concept may differ on how they understand it, they both subscribe to an ideology of conquest. They see the recent election as a spiritual war in which divine intervention may have been involved. In contrast, rejects this kingdom of God on earth concept. has the duty of watering them, but in a spirit of service as in the washing of the feet. The duty of Christianity for Europe is that of service. This movement of the right seems motivated primarily by fear, and the need for religion to impose a necessary order on culture and government. Francis rejects this notion. He refuses to reduce the Islamic religion to terrorism. Some who reject Spadaro's thesis say he speaks about people who don't exist. Evangelical Is Not Enough.

Are we, as Catholics, doing right by God? As one of the nation's many, many K-8th grade Catholic students, I thought once I graduated from Sacred Heart in Jacksonville, Florida I no longer needed to advance my religious education. I had a Bible, I attended services and kept to God's Commandments and and left it at that. Once away from the protective shell of my parents' home, however, I became exposed for the first time anti-Catholic environments. I discovered and his merciless comic strip attacks on my faith, and recently two Jehovah's Witnesses arrived at my doorstep waving a pamphlet depicting a woman groveling before a statue of Mary. The caption underneath read "idol worshipper. For twenty-five years I was certain I a was a "good Christian", praying to Jesus for strength and wisdom and abiding by His rules, only to learn that many factions insisted I was living a lie. Catholics questioning their faith, like myself, will want to arm themselves with knowledge of apologetics, and the logical place to start would be with Karl Keating's Catholicism and Fundamentalism, an excellent resource for clarifying and strengthening one's Catholic faith in Christ. Keating, the founder of Catholic Answers, has written this book with two purposes in mind: to point out those most guilty of anti-Catholic behavior and to provide the means of successfully defending the motives of the .

Arguments against the Fundamentalist position of are also discussed, as are tips on how to become a top-notch Catholic apologist. Whether you are trying to defend your faith or learn precisely what the Catholic position is, Catholicism and Fundamentalism is the ideal book in which to rediscover faith in Jesus Christ and His church.

I was going to give it three stars until the end when he picked up the pace a little and talked about how to respond to non-Catholics in charity.

This book and books like it make me feel like the whole world is against Catholics which is certainly not true , and while that's not Keating's fault, it still impacted my rating, but I digress.

Oct 15, JoAnne Potter rated it really liked it. Author has a bit of an attitude, but guess I don't blame him. Catholic bashers rarely take the trouble to substantiate their accusations. He does do a good job of explaining the background for every point he takes up, and he doesn't miss any of the hottest ones. I liked that. I have to admit to skipping some of the long, exhausting chains of protestant error, mostly because I agree with them. I wanted to skip to what I didn't already know. In all, worth the time.

Keating's "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" was an important work in my journey toward the Catholic faith. Easy to read and understand yet still "technical" enough to challenge one's intellectual acument, "Catholicsm and Fundamentalism" is a must-read for both the budding apologist and the average layman in the pew. Feb 09, Shulamit "Shulie" rated it really liked it. If you're itching to get into the middle of the squabble between the fundamentalist Christians and the Catholics, this is the book for you. It's particularly enjoyable if you have some personal experience in either camp, otherwise it might be a little alienating. Jan 18, Cindy rated it liked it. I think Karl Keating was a little sarcastic in his writing. It had a lot of information but I would not recommend this book to a non-Catholic. It has great information for Catholics to learn though. Mar 06, Code Phined rated it it was amazing. Awesome reference book. Keating does a great job dismissing many of the misconceptions that is spread through Protestant circles about Catholicism. I use this often in my own studies and apologetics. Apr 19, Dagmara R rated it it was amazing. A very well written book that sheds light on many sensationalist claims. Keating is devastating in his critique of the fundamentalist propaganda. Highly recommended to anybody even remotely interested in the topic. Nov 28, Jason Townsend rated it it was amazing. This is easily the best work on Catholic apologetics that I have read. I can recommend this to all my Catholic friends even if they only wish to brush up on their knowledge of the faith.

Start your review of Catholicism and Fundamentalism. So you have been a Catholic your whole life. Maybe even went to Catholic School. But through college and out in your job you feel like you are surrounded by Bible thumping Christians who have taken as their personal crusade to convert their heathen . That is you. What do you do? You know that they are great people. Very sincere in their faith. And seemingly very strong Christians. In fact they are consumed by it and frankly it is a little So you have been a Catholic your whole life. In fact they are consumed by it and frankly it is a little bit attractive at times. Especially since you might be a luke-warm Catholic at best. But something is nagging you. It's maybe your mom's voice in the back of your head that she raised you a particular way. Or maybe it's that you would really miss those beautifully lit Midnight Masses. Though you might be restless in your inherited faith, you aren't ready to take the kind of plunge your friends are promising. Karl Keating will change your perspective. And maybe if you are really lucky you can hand it over to your friends and convert them instead. Keating delves into all the misconceptions about Catholicism. Especially all the shoddy history that has been written by so-called "ex-priests" who have an axe to grind. It grabs ahold of nearly all the main attacks that Catholicism has undergone from fundamentalists who constantly barrage the Catholic Church as the "Whore of Babylon" referenced in Revelations. Keating is thorough in his defense and lays open the faultiness of their arguments as well as how nearly every reference that a fundamentalist will use as being flawed in its presentation of what Catholicism really is. Most of their references are flat out lies and misrepresentations. A warning though. You will want to savor this book. In fact it will be impossible to tear through it in only a few days. I read it methodically--maybe a chapter or 2 a night and that was it! I had to if I wanted to wrap my mind around on everything he was saying, and reflect fully on it. Trust me--it's like weight-training for your faith. You will need to train slowly, with deliberate technique in your reflection. I attribute this book as the corner-stone of my turn-around in my defense of my faith. From being merely passive and believing to becoming active and defensive in my Catholic faith as we are all called to do. View 2 comments. Oct 02, booklady rated it really liked it.

Back in the s, young Catholics were leaving the Church at a tremendous rate in order to join Evangelical Christian congregations that literally thrived on these conversions. Why did Catholics leave the Church at such an alarming rate in those days? Part of it was poor on the part of the Catholic Church in the s and 70s, which resulted in an entire generation Back in the s, young Catholics were leaving the Church at a tremendous rate in order to join Evangelical Christian congregations that literally thrived on these conversions. Part of it was poor catechesis on the part of the Catholic Church in the s and 70s, which resulted in an entire generation of Catholics who don't understand their own faith. And part of the reason for these conversions was the purposeful targeting of Catholics by these Evangelical denominations, and these marketing campaigns often consisted of misleading or downright slanderous accusations of Catholic beliefs. In Karl Keating wrote "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" as a response to this exodus. On the one hand, it highlights the Evangelical organizations that target Catholics and try to persuade them to leave the Church. But the main thrust of this book is to discuss the Catholic faith, to catechize the uncatechized Catholics who are inclined to leave, and to present the faith to Evangelicals who have been taught to believe that the Catholic Church is the Whore of Babylon, the Anti-Christ of today. In this effort this book is a great success. It is a very readable presentation of the faith, and it answers many of the most common objections to the faith in a very readable and enjoyable way. It is very easy to read and in places hard to put down. In this sense, I would recommend this book to people who either do not understand the Catholic faith or who have wrong ideas about it. On the other hand, this book is very dated in a lot of ways. Keating spends much of the first half of the book discussing and repudiating the major Evangelical organizations of the s who targeted Catholics. Today, very few of these organizations still exist, and those who do still exist are irrelevant. In the 21st Century, the threat posed to Catholics by Evangelicals is minimal. The major threat to the faith today stands squarely in the secular realm. Catholics today are not leaving the Church to be Evangelicals or even to join the denominations. They are leaving the Church to join the world, take up the sexual revolution, accept social teachings that are opposed to the teachings of the Church, or simply to live a narcissistic life.

They are leaving the Church to join the world, take up the sexual revolution, accept social teachings that are opposed to the teachings of the Church, or simply to live a narcissistic life. To this end, this work should be updated to examine the major reasons why young Catholics either leave the Church or no longer practice the faith. So, while "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" may be a nice historical interest into why Catholics used to leave the faith, it is hardly relevant in explaining why young Catholics today leave the Church. Regardless of its shortcomings, I would highly recommend that anyone read "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" who is interested in the Catholic Faith and its defense. Oct 02, Joseph Richardson rated it really liked it. A good overview of fundamentalist anti-Catholic groups, their criticisms and charges against the Catholic Church, and the Catholic responses to them. Keating assumes a Catholic reader, so as an evangelical-turning-Catholic convert-in- progress, it sometimes felt a little awkward when he complained about fundamentalists. He carries a clear tone of indignation and annoyance, especially in the first part of the book, focusing on the critics and groups themselves including pre-downfall Jimmy Swaggar A good overview of fundamentalist anti-Catholic groups, their criticisms and charges against the Catholic Church, and the Catholic responses to them. He carries a clear tone of indignation and annoyance, especially in the first part of the book, focusing on the critics and groups themselves including pre- downfall Jimmy Swaggart , but maintains a charitable spirit. The second part of the book, going through the Catholic doctrines that fundamentalists chiefly criticize tradition vs. Peter in Rome as first pope, etc. At times I felt like Keating didn't understand fundamentalists much better than many of them understand Catholics he presumes a hard-line Calvinistic theology, which admittedly is probably the case for most outspoken anti-Catholics ; and at times his exposition of the Catholic apologies felt flimsy or the apologies themselves are flimsy , especially when it came to issues of biblical translation -- they sounded like the same arguments of fundamentalists turned backwards. Keating is not a scholar or theologian, but is an able collector and disseminator of what others have written. If you are a Catholic who seriously takes your faith, or have been around religious discussion forums online or offline soon enough you will come across a barrage of very passionate anti-Catholic ideas and sentiments.

There are certainly many religious groups with a bone to pick with Catholic Church and its teachings it could hardly be otherwise with a religious group that counts more than a billion people as its members and a truly global reach over several millennia , but some of the most vociferous attacks seem to be coming from a particular kind of Protestant Fundamentalism. Many of us are frankly mildly shocked after our first encounters with this form of dogmatic anti-Catholicism. Not because they present new arguments that make us question our faith for the first time. On the contrary, most of the arguments are centuries old, and we are mostly shocked to find them repackaged in a new guise that is at times as childish and intellectually dishonest as they come. The only truly new invention seems to be the new level of animosity and vociferousness. If you have ever been in a situation where you have to talk to one of these Fundamentalists, you probably know what I mean. And if you would like to know more about where this "neofundamentalism" is coming from - historically and intellectually - then Karl Keating's book is the definitive resource. It covers most of the important topics that pertain to Fundamentalism - its origin, some of the current vocal fundamentalist Catholic-bashers, the tactics and arguments used by these groups, the long discussion on most prominent Catholic beliefs that are under the assault, and the most effective Catholic apologetic practices. The book was written in the late 80s, but for the most part it has aged well. Of course, one huge tectonic shift that has occurred over the past twenty years has been the advent of the internet, and many of the fundamentalist anti-Catholic groups have found this to be the most appealing and the easiest way of spreading their message. However, the message has remained largely the same, and in that respect "Catholicism and Fundamentalism" is as relevant today as when it was first written. Sep 05, David Szatkowski rated it really liked it. Excellent apologetics read. Keating does an excellent job explaining the fundamentalist argument, explaining how it misunderstands the Catholic position, then explaining the Catholic position from both Scripture and the Fathers of the Church. He also explains the underlying presuppositions of the fundamentalist position and where there is a philosophical inconsistency with the argument. He does not white-wash the sins of the Church, critically, which is good. He also reminds readers that people Excellent apologetics read. He also reminds readers that people who hold opinions contrary to the Church are not bad people. This book, written in the 80s, dates itself in a couple ways. One, no mainstream Scripture scholar thinks Matthew was written after 1 Corinthians Paul wrote about 30 years before Matthew. Also, the anti-Catholics he refers to are no longer as prominent now as then think Jimmy Swaggart and company. That being said, many of the arguments he refers to are as valid now as then. The downside of course is that 30 years of writing, theology, scriptural theology, etc. All that said - strong recommendation to read, but you'll probably need to buy it used again, mindful of the original publication date. The truth set me free After my conversion experience, this book helped to clarify what I had slowly but radically discovered in my two year prior research into the and traditions that cannot be overlooked or ignored.

Keating can be Part of the problem with this book was that is was largely written as a rebuttal of a specific other book that I can't remember the name of off the top of my head. It really isn't clear that this is the case until almost half-way through before that you just think he is obsessed about some guy name Botner I think it was. Jan 26, Marcy rated it really liked it Shelves: religion , catholicism. I really thought this book was a great answer to a lot of anti-Catholic rhetoric out there. I did have a few problems though - I felt that Keating was a little too dismissive of Fundamentalist beliefs, and often set up straw men of his own. I think the information on Catholic beliefs is good, but consider his summaries of Fundamentalist beliefs to be a little bit lacking in charity.

Catholicism and Fundamentalism is well-researched and presents well-defined arguments for the succession of popes, veneration of Mary, Eucharistic adoration, and other factors that separate Catholic and Protestant faiths. Arguments against the Fundamentalist position of sola Scriptura are also discussed, as are tips on how to become a top- notch Catholic apologist. Whether you are trying to defend your faith or learn precisely what the Catholic position is, Catholicism and Fundamentalism is the ideal book in which to rediscover faith in Jesus Christ and His church.

I was going to give it three stars until the end when he picked up the pace a little and talked about how to respond to non-Catholics in charity. TLDR: this is a good book for seasoned apologists well into their adulthood but not ideal for recent converts Sep 17, Cris rated it it was amazing Shelves: theology. Its a good book for Catholics to read about the various objections other denominations have to Catholicism, as it combines both journalism and theology. This covers a wide range of denominations and I learned a lot about the history of Jehova's Witnesses for example. It is also a good book to read to understand the development of the term fundamentalism, a pejorative and misunderstood term in popular culture.

Karl Keating, a convert, leaves no ugly rumor unturned in this very thorough book, however the reader must be mindful to remember that Keating is talking about groups and not individuals and so must keep charity at hand. Feb 07, Cocopebbles rated it liked it. I liked this book, but I only gave it 3 stars for a purely personal reason: apologetics makes me sad. This book and books like it make me feel like the whole world is against Catholics which is certainly not true , and while that's not Keating's fault, it still impacted my rating, but I digress. The book is full of strong Biblical and historical explanations of Catholic doctrines and practices. A good read if you are into apologetics, curious about Catholicism, or just want some refreshers abou I liked this book, but I only gave it 3 stars for a purely personal reason: apologetics makes me sad.
