1 | Have you ever read a book by a Catholic? | Bible general Archive 2 | Dalcent | 131501 | ||
I agree with your last sentence entirely. However, what about my question: Have you read any books by Catholics? I've read all the anti-Catholic stuff, Babylon Mystery Religion, Woman rides the Beast, etc. Even if you don't come to agree with the Catholic positions, it would be scholarly if you knew the true Catholic postions not just some fundamentalist polemic. What about Karl Keating's Catholicism and Fundamentalism Ignatius Press. P.S. I'm an intercessor between God and man too, because I'm praying for you. |

Hey, may I jump in a second? :-) I've read some books by Roman Catholic authors. I rather enjoy as a devotional Thomas a'Kempis' "The Imitation of Christ." I've also read -- several times -- "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Nicholas Herman. I've read through all 25 sessions of the Council of Trent -- Zzzzzz. I waded through the Canons of the Fourth Lateran Council. I've read Augustine's Confessions -- lots better! Recently I've just begun reading some of Anselem's stuff. I thought former Father Charles Chiniquy was very enlightening, but he probably doesn't quite fit the criteria. I may not make it all the way through, but I've read the first two parts of the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church -- 1992 Edition, I think, but I loaned it out and didn't get it back. Perhaps it was an unintentionally pugnacious statement, but the words "scholarly," "Catholic," and "fundamentalist" all sound a bit odd to me in the same sentence. Although I am none of these things, sir, might I humbly suggest that one must be careful not to over-generalize when seeking to correct over-generalizations. :-) |

Greetings Doc! Have you read any works of Henri Nouwen? "The Return of the Prodigal" is one of my absolute favorite books - I strongly recommend it to you! I was privileged to hear Fr. Nouwen speak a few years before his death. imo, he was a spirit filled man of God who shared his life with those entrusted to his care. Blessings, mommapbs |
