"So why do Catholics ..."

..."Say Mary remained a virgin?"..."Refuse to rely on Scripture alone?" ..."Teach papal infallibility?"... "Worship saints and bow down to their graven images?"... "Claim the wafer is really Jesus?"And, bottom line, again and again - "Where in the Bible does it say...?"

When some folks have questions about Catholicism, they''re more than merely curious. They want to take a jab at your beliefs as they try to persuade you to accept theirs.Door-to-door proselytizers are trained to ask hot-button questions. They proclaim to know what many Catholics can''t articulate.

Now author, EWTN television host, and noted apologist (that is, defender and teacher of Catholic doctrine) Patrick Madrid has compiled tough questions Catholics face. They are questions he and others have been confronted with time and again.

He presents solid, Bible-based, easy-to-understand, and easy-to-explain answers. Here is how to calmly, charitably, and effectively respond. Discover the answers to some questions you may have wondered about yourself!

Straightforward answers to all the arguments against Tradition

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.

Now -- at your fingertips -- is the biblical basis for the key Catholic teachings and customs that non-Catholics wonder about, object to, and preach against.

Filled with Scripture citations to help you explain, defend, and learn more about specific Catholic beliefs and practices, A Pocket Guide to Catholic Apologetics lists more than 40 apologetics themes in an easy-to-locate format.

Designed as a pocket-size companion guide to the best-selling Where is That in the Bible?, A Pocket Guide to Catholic Apologetics also explains how to best use Scripture when discussing your Catholic Faith.

A great choice for Bible study groups!
