Q.A. Quizzes to a Street Preacher: True Church (eBook)

Q. A. Quizzes to a Street Preacher is a series of pocket-sized booklets perfect for street evangelization and rapid replies to questions about the Catholic Faith. Written by Fr. Leslie Rumble and Fr. Charles Carty, pioneers in modern evangelization methods in the first half of the 20th century, these pamphlets exude the concise and pithy wisdom of two experts in the field of convert-making. Comprising 32 pages each, these booklets are brief, systematic, economically worded, and right to the point. Subjects covered are the Bible, Purgatory, Indulgences, Confession, Marriage, Hell, Birth Prevention, the Eucharist, the True Church, and Virgin and Statue Worship. In Q. A. True Church, find answers to 91 questions about why the Catholic Church has the true Faith of Christ. The Church's claim to be the unique source of salvation and the true Mystical Body of Jesus Christ on earth is one of the greatest points of contention in the modern world. We must defend the Church against assaults from within and without that would seek to render her obsolete or somehow diminished in necessity. To that end, this booklet contains information on the scriptural basis of the Catholic Church, the origin of the word "catholic," the four marks of the Church, whether she has ever taught "error," why there have been "bad popes," who the successor of St. Peter is, and whether Protestants or schismatics can be saved. Here is a tool of profound importance for apologetics today.

Leslie Audoen Rumble, known as "Fr. Rumble," was a priest and apologist from New South Wales, Australia. Born in 1892, he grew up in an Anglican family, but he converted to the Catholic Church. In 1924, he was ordained a priest for the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. He became famous for providing radio answers to questions about Catholicism broadcasted all over Australia and New Zealand. He also founded Radio Replies Press with Fr. Charles Mortimer Carty, an American priest from St. Paul, Minnesota, who had been performing a similar radio-apologetics program, the Catholic Radio Hour, as well as a street-preaching campaign, in the United States. (Fr. Carty was also known as a biographer of Padre Pio.) Fr. Carty spearheaded the American publishing operation, and the two priests became excellent "collaborators in the truth." Their work survives to this day as a testament to their zeal for apologetics and evangelization.
