I ordered this book last year sometime and received it past week-end. It’s been well worth the wait! The write-ups have been excellent, and deservedly so. Easy to read, understand and learn from. The usual arguments are dealt with in a balanced and objective way and got me nodding and ‘ahhhing’ as the actual history about the Crusades and the Inquisition is examined clearly.

Coren examines four main aspects of Catholicism as they are encountered, understood and more importantly, misunderstood. Astutely examining the tragedy of the abuse scandal, Coren addresses some of the most common attacks on Catholics and Catholicism.Tracing Catholic history, he de-constructs popular anti-Catholic arguments regarding the Crusades, the Inquisition, Galileo, and the Holocaust. Finally he explains why Catholics believe what they do: papal infallibility, the Church rather than the Bible alone, and the dignity of life argument.In this thought-provoking book, Michael Coren explores Catholicism’s essential questions, arguing that Catholicism ”is as important now as it ever was and perhaps even more necessary.” Fascinating and challenging . Why Catholics are right is a passionate response to current anti-Catholic opinion.
