The Catholic Church is, arguably, the most controversial institution on the planet. Whether the issue is its relationship to other religious communities, the use and abuse of sex, the dignity of human life from conception until natural death, or the role of women, the Catholic Church has taken challenging positions that some find inexplicable, even cruel. In The Truth of Catholicism, George Weigel, one of the world’s preeminent Catholic commentators, explores these issues and more. Weigel looks at the many controversies associated with Catholicism from the “inside," helping students to see affirmation and celebration of the human condition, not condemnation and mindless prohibition. Weigel presents Catholic faith and practice as a vast and liberating terrain on which to live a fully human life. “Weigel is able to shed some much-needed light on the relevance of Catholicism in the modern world."—Booklist | The Truth of Catholicism by George Weigel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
