PUBLISHERS INTRODUCTION
A national survey recently exposed that just 33 percent of Catholics can name the authors of the four Gospels. Only 19 percent of Protestants knew the Reformation teaching about salvation through faith alone, and less than half knew that Martin Luther initiated the Reformation. In fact, atheists and agnostics answered more Old Testament questions correctly than self-described Christians and more New Testament questions than Catholics.
Based on those alarming findings, Christians clearly need a simple guide to the global faith that has overcome every challenge for two thousand years. Consequently, there is no better time to explore Fr. John J. Pasquinis convincing defense of Catholic beliefs through reason, Scripture, and the life of the Holy Spirit.
Like the Church itself, and all that is most important in life, Catholic Answers to Protestant Questions is both a treasure and a gift. Its priceless wisdom and simplicity should be treasured by every Catholic, from the convert in RCIA class, to the cradle Catholic who has become forgetful or luke-warm in the faith. Also by the Grace of God this book is a gift from Fr. Pasquini to anyone who seeks a deeper understanding of the history, context and foundation of our Christian beliefs.
Writing as someone who has spent decades on each side of the Reformation divide, however, I believe that even non-Catholics who seek to learn more about Church history or Catholic beliefs will find Catholic Answers to Protestant Questions to be a welcome addition on their vitally important journey of Christian enlightenment. This is a book that every serious Christian should read and reread. It sets the record s traight regarding many misconceptions of the Catholic faith and reaffirms A rchbishop Fulton J. Sheens words that, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
Catholic Answers to Protestant Questions reminds us that the Catholic Church is unique. It will help to reaffirm Catholic faith in the infallibility of the Church; to bring back home those who have fallen away from their faith; to convince searching Christians of their home in the Catholic Church; and to gently convert Protestants and pseudo-Christians to the fullness of Christianity as found in the Catholic Church.
