"Answering Anti-Catholic Fundamentalists by Karl Keating. The author of the perennial best-seller, Catholicism and Fundamentalism, presents here, not so much a sequel, as a supplement to the first groundbreaking work. In the first book, Keating gave a panoramic view of the attack on *Romanism* by *Bible Christians,* highlighting prominent anti-Catholic individuals and organizations and discussing at length controverted doctrines. Here, he presents snapshots, individualized portraits--some larger, some smaller--of arguments and people opposed to the Catholic faith. Sewn softcover, 200 pages."

Why Is That in Tradition?
$10.95
Straightforward answers to all the arguments against Tradition by Patrick Madrid
The popular bestseller Where is That in the Bible? showed the Scriptural basis for often-questioned Catholic doctrines. Now the same author tackles the other half of the divine revelation. When someone accuses the Catholic Church of adding man-made doctrinal aberrations that go against Scripture, this is the book to reach for.
When non-Catholics dispute the Church's teachings, they often distort the facts. This book clears away the distortions and explains what the Church has always taught about hot topics like Mary, praying for the dead, and indulgences. It also explains the difference between Tradition with a capital T and the many traditions that are simply customary. In fact, those doctrines that outsiders most often dispute are the very doctrines that, properly understood, bring people home to the Church. Share this book with a non-Catholic friend. You might be surprised by the results. Paper, 176 pages. Our Sunday Visitor March 2002 Price: $10.95

More Christianity
$12.95
By Dwight Longenecker
You’ve read Mere Christianity. Now here’s the rest of the story.

Christians of all sorts love Mere Christianity, the classic book by C. S. Lewis that spells out what all Christians believe. But that book is only a beginning. To get the whole story of the Christian faith, you need to come home to the Catholic Church.

That’s where this book comes in. It homes in on the areas where Christians don’t agree. What the Church teaches bout Mary, the papacy, the Mass, Purgatory, the Communion of Saints, and so on... these are the things that always come up when Protestants and Catholics get together. Here at last is a brief but convincing explanation of those Catholic doctrines. You’ll see why the Christian faith is found in its completeness only in the Catholic Church.

For any Catholic who enjoyed Lewis’s book, this is the Catholic response you’ve been waiting for. For any Protestant, it’s a perfect way to get to know what Catholic Christians really believe and why they believe it. By taking the famous Lewis classic as its starting point, More Christianity will help all Christians understand one another better. Our Sunday Visitor Fall 2002.

George Pell: Defender of the Faith Down Under
$18.95
By Tess Livingstone.

In recent decades a war has been waged within the Catholic Church between traditionalists and those who want to drain its teachings and institutions of much of their meaning. This is the story of that struggle, told through the life of a leading combatant, Cardinal George Pell, Archbishop of Sydney, Australia, and the leading Churchman "down under", who has spent much of his adult life battling attempts to, in his words, "trivialize Jesus Christ".

George Pell, a brilliant student in Rome and Oxford, was chosen by Pope John Paul II to be Archbishop of Melbourne and then Sydney. Pell's unprecedented double appointment reflects the fact that the Pope sees him as a vital front-line figure in the fight to reform the Church. Author Tess Livingstone visited Rome and Oxford and interviewed over fifty people, including many of Pell's critics, in researching her book. It contains a wealth of information about Pell that will surprise both his enemies and his supporters. 499 pages Paperback Ignatius Press Spring 2005.
