Reseña del editor:

Catholic Controversies gives Catholics and others seeking the truth a valuable resource for correcting the most common misunderstandings and myths perpetuated by the media, university professors and the uninformed. Catholic Controversies collects the very best articles addressing most of the “hot-button” issues used to undermine both the authority of the Church and the faith of Catholics, especially young people. The topics range from proofs of God’s existence to the Spanish Inquisition to human cloning and stem-cell research.

Learn from some of the best modern thinkers:
* how history and archaeology corroborate the Gospels
* how the Crusades were defensive wars necessary to save Christianity
* the overwhelming evidence that the Eucharist contains the Real Presence of Christ
* how contraception undermines happy marriages
* why marriage is inherently heterosexual

Stephen Gabriel makes it easy to digest these articles by providing an introduction to each topic and a summary, presented in bullet format, of the highlights and conclusions of each article. Every Catholic wishing to be armed with the facts should read this book.

Over the years, he has written for New Covenant, a magazine of Catholic Spirituality, and Our Sunday Visitor. Gabriel has written two books on fatherhood: To Be a Father: 200 Promises That Will Transform You, Your Marriage, and Your Family (Moorings Press, 2010) and Speaking to the Heart: A Father’s Guide to Growth in Virtue (Moorings Press, 2011). His popular book on apologetics is Catholic Controversies: Understanding Church Teachings and Events in History (Moorings Press, 2010). Gabriel lives in Falls Church, Virginia, with his wife, Peggy.
