Can you refute these anti-Catholic slanders? Fr. Herbert Thurston's classic of apologetics shows you how * "Until the Reformation, the Catholic Church systematically kept the Bible out of the hands of ordinary people." * "Papal primacy was a medieval invention buttressed by forgeries." * "Catholicism places higher importance on empty ritual and rote repitition than on true acts of Christian virtue." * "Medieval monasteries and convents were rife with immorality and material corruption." You hear them all too often -- from Protestants, atheists, even people who call themselves Catholics. You'd love to fire back, but you're not sure of the facts and arguments. If only you had the perfect answers ready at hand. Now you do. This new edition of Fr. Herbert Thurston's famous apologetical work supplies you with answers to many familiar calumnies, and to some you may not have heard (yet).
