Questioning Catholic Authority and Practice, with a clear-eyed look at faith and reason.
What Is Catholicism? presents a thoughtful examination of the Catholic Church through a series of letters and a concluding conversation. It delves into how authority is defined, how doctrine relates to practice, and what salvation means within Catholic teaching. The work engages with both historical developments and modern challenges, offering a calm, argumentative exploration of core beliefs.
- Explores how the Catholic idea of infallibility and authority shapes belief and life
- Compares the role of speech and sacraments in shaping faith and practice
- Examines confession, casuistry, and Catholic morality with critical clarity
- Includes a candid dialogue that sharpens the central questions about truth, evidence, and universality
Ideal for readers of religious philosophy, church history, and critical theology who want a rigorous, accessible discussion of Catholicism.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book was written to challenge the truth of Catholicism, focusing specifically on the questions of authority and proof. To the author, the Catholic view of an infallible and unchanging source of truth seems untenable; it is self-contradictory, unclear in its origins, and lacks the necessary historical evidence for its support. Instead of finding clear and consistent proof of its foundational ideas through scriptural study, the author argues that only confusion, inconsistent arguments, and a complex web of conflicting views are revealed. In its attempt to be the ultimate arbiter of truth, the author contends that Catholicism is not in the possession of its claimed divine authority, and instead is a complex construction of shifting foundations and self-justifications that human beings have assembled over the years.
