Summary: Powerful and significant reading for any Christian
Comment: All of society is now aware of the Catholic Church's duplicitous nature and of its high tolerance for corruption of all kinds. What may not be as obvious, particularly to Catholics, is the pervasiveness of these characteristics throughout this church's long and often chilling history. Author Mary Ann Collins explores this using an elegant and warmly personal format. Each section of the book treats specific areas of Catholic belief or tradition. Collins includes basic information in each area to give the reader a clear picture of how the belief or tradition is presented to the lay Catholic by the magisterium. She then details the history behind each belief or tradition, including its roots in paganism, carnality, greed, and other things the average Catholic is not even aware of.
What keeps this book solidly out of the realm of Catholic-bashing are two things: the author's obvious compassion for the entire spectrum of subscribers to Christian belief, and the prayers she's included at the end of each section. Collins has chosen as her primary (though by no means exclusive) audience Catholics who are seeking a sincere connection with the Almighty, and have noticed that they're not finding a clear path to this in the maze of obfuscation and pietistic legalism that is Catholicism. At the end of each section, Collins invites the reader to pray in faith the prayers she's written, allowing the reader to articulate, among other things, his or her desire to see the way to an authentic and vibrant experience of faith in'and relationship with'Jesus Christ, as eloquently and specifically revealed in Scripture.
The introduction by C. Peter Wagner and the afterword by Chuck Pierce--both noted and noteworthy scholars in the Charismatic/New Apostolic tradition--are eye-opening and hair-curling, respectively. This book is powerful and significant reading not only for Catholics, but also for the entire body of Christians whose religious tradition came out of Catholicism (practically everyone, in other words).
