| The popular bestseller "Where is That in the Bible?" showed the Scriptural basis for often-questioned Catholic doctrines. Now popular author Patrick Madrid 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.
This book clears away the confusion and 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 capital T Traditions, which are part of divine revelation (the doctrines delivered to the Church by Christ and the Apostles) and small "t" traditions, which are customs or disciplines that develop within the Church.
This book also demonstrates how to share the riches of the Catholic Faith more effectively with those who find its practices "unscriptural," or with fallen-away Catholics.
Share this book with a friend -- Catholic or non-Catholic. You might be surprised by the results.
