Summary:

"Debating Catholicism" by Karl Keating offers a comprehensive exploration of key issues and controversies within the Catholic faith. Keating delves into topics such as papal authority, sacraments, and theological doctrine, presenting diverse perspectives and engaging arguments. Through rigorous debate and thoughtful analysis, he encourages readers to grapple with complex theological questions and deepen their understanding of Catholicism's rich tradition. Whether you're a devout Catholic or an interested observer, "Debating Catholicism" provides valuable insights into one of the world's oldest and most influential religions.

Four prominent anti-Catholics. Four public debates. Four rollicking books in one volume.

This omnibus volume contains the complete text of four books: The Bible Battle, High Desert Showdown, Tracking Down the True Church, and Face Off with an Ex-Priest. They are edited transcripts of public debates Karl Keating had with prominent anti-Catholics, men who devoted all or large parts of their careers to opposing the Church of Rome and its distinctive teachings.

The topics discussed and the arguments used, on both sides, are perennial. So, unfortunately, are the misconceptions and imprecisions exhibited by Keating’s opponents. He tried to correct those misconceptions and adjust those imprecisions in the heat of public exchanges. How did he fare? Was the Catholic faith vindicated or vanquished?
