It reviles her doctrines, mocks her moral teachings, and invents lies about her history. In every age, but especially in our modern day, historians and political powers have distorted the facts about her past (or just made up novel falsehoods from scratch) to make the Church, and the civilization it fostered, seem corrupt, backward, or simply evil.<br /><br />In <strong><em>Seven Lies about Catholic History</em></strong>, Diane Moczar (author of <em>Islam at the Gates</em>) tackles the most infamous and prevalent historical myths about the Church&mdash;popular legends that you encounter everywhere from textbooks to T.V.&mdash;and reveals the real truth about them. She explains how they got started and why they're still around, and best of all, she gives you the facts and the arguments you need to set the record straight about:</div>\n<ul>\n<li>The Inquisition: how it was not a bloodthirsty institution but a merciful (and necessary) one;</li>\n<li>Galileo's trial: why moderns invented a myth around it to make science appear incompatible with the Catholic faith (it's not);</li>\n<li>The Reformation: why the 16th-century Church was not totally corrupt (as even some Catholics wrongly believe), as well as how the reformers made things worse for everybody;</li>\n<li>And other lies that the world uses to attack and discredit the Faith<br /><br /></li>\n</ul>\n<p>Written in a brisk style that's fun and easy to read, <em><strong>Seven Lies about Catholic History</strong></em> provides the lessons that every Catholic needs in order to defend and explain not just apologize for the Church's rich and complex history.</p>","tags":[],"warranty":"","price":{"without_tax":{"formatted":"$4.00","value":4,"currency":"USD"},"tax_label":"Tax","sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$4.00","value":4,"currency":"USD"},"non_sale_price_without_tax":{"formatted":"$19.95","value":19.95,"currency":"USD"},"rrp_without_tax":{"formatted":"$19.95","value":19.95,"currency":"USD"},"saved":{"formatted":"$15.95","value":15.95,"currency":"USD"}},"height":"8.50","detail_messages":"","availability":"","page_title":"Seven Lies About Catholic History: Infamous Myths about the Church's Past and How to Answer Them","cart_url":"https://tanbooks.com/cart.php","max_purchase_quantity":0,"mpn":null,"upc":"9780895559067","options":[{"id":5200,"type":"Configurable_PickList_Set","display_name":"Format","required":true,"state":"variant_option","partial":"set-rectangle","condition":true,"values":[{"id":10255,"label":"Paperbound","selected":true,"data":"Paperbound"},{"id":10256,"label":"eBook","selected":false,"data":"eBook"},{"id":10257,"label":"MP3 Audio Download","selected":false,"data":"MP3 Audio Download"}]}],"related_products":[{"id":1206,"sku":"TE9180","name":"Seven Lies About Catholic History (eBook)","url":"https://tanbooks.com/digital/ebooks-audiobooks/seven-lies-about-catholic-history-infamous-myths-about-the-churchs-past-and-how-to-answer-them-ebook/","availability":"","rating":0,"brand":null,"category":["Books","Books/General ","Books/General /eBooks & Audiobooks","Sales/Special Sales/Flash Sales/Stocking Stuffers/$4 Books"],"summary":"The world hates the Church that Jesus founded, just as He said it would (John 15:18).

A serious student of history, she&#039;s kept up to date with the wealth of serious scholarship that has debunked all the lies that continue to be ignored by popular writers and textbook companies. The appendix with recommended reading is really helpful, a great place to find the scholarly works that refute the anti-Catholic bigots.

The world hates the Church that Jesus founded, just as He said it would (John 15:18). It reviles her doctrines, mocks her moral teachings, and invents lies about her history. In every age, but especially in our modern day, historians and political powers have distorted the facts about her past (or just made up novel falsehoods from scratch) to make the Church, and the civilization it fostered, seem corrupt, backward, or simply evil.

In Seven Lies about Catholic History, Diane Moczar (author of Islam at the Gates) tackles the most infamous and prevalent historical myths about the Church—popular legends that you encounter everywhere from textbooks to T.V.—and reveals the real truth about them. She explains how they got started and why they're still around, and best of all, she gives you the facts and the arguments you need to set the record straight about:
  • The Inquisition: how it was not a bloodthirsty institution but a merciful (and necessary) one;
  • Galileo's trial: why moderns invented a myth around it to make science appear incompatible with the Catholic faith (it's not);
  • The Reformation: why the 16th-century Church was not totally corrupt (as even some Catholics wrongly believe), as well as how the reformers made things worse for everybody;
  • And other lies that the world uses to attack and discredit the Faith

Written in a brisk style that's fun and easy to read, Seven Lies about Catholic History provides the lessons that every Catholic needs in order to defend and explain not just apologize for the Church's rich and complex history.
