Why Do Catholics Do That?: A Guide to the Teachings and Practices of the Catholic Church

Summary: Led me back to the Church
Review: It's a shame that a handful of disingenuous reviews weighed-down the overall rating for Johnson's wonderful book.

One reviewer claims that the Church recanted in recent years and came to agree with Luther's view of salvation. That's simply false; the Church has always believed in salvation by grace. Pope John Paul II's recent dialogue with Lutherans was an example of ecumenism, not backsliding.

Moreover, Johnson's book is in part a work of apologetics, and he ably defends the Faith against common accusations leveled against it by critics. If those defenses offend one's tender ears, then simply avoid apologetics.
