E-Book Overview

If you're painfully conscious of the grave problems in the Church today and wish that you could do something about them, then (says L'Osservatore Romano, the official newspaper of the Vatican) here is the help you need: "a strong, clear, noteworthy book for those who see clearly the evils in the Church but feel themselves defenseless in the face of seductive arguments and not yet capable of refuting them". In language that's simple yet precise, Trojan Horse in the City of God identifies numerous errors that have taken root in the Church and explains the holy truths they've driven out. It will help you to know the Faith better and to love it more. You'll discover how to identify those who would subvert the Faith, and learn how to refute them convincingly. No wonder this powerful book has been endorsed at the highest levels of the Church! The crisis in the Church will not go away by itself. We must pray, study, and work to restore Her to the holiness to which She is called. Now is the time to begin and Trojan Horse is the best beginning. Let this highly-acclaimed classic show you the roots of the Catholic crisis and explain the steps you can take to defend the Faith against those who would subvert or destroy it. When Trojan Horse in the City of God is the principal defense of conservative Catholicism and an indictment of "progressive" or "liberal" Catholicism. Dietrich von Hildebrand exposes the "progressive" Catholic agenda, its modus operandi and the dangerous heresies it promotes, contrary to traditional Catholic truth including the two main factors contributing to the deterioration of the Church, why true renewal in the church requires reaffirmation (not denigration) of tradition, why translating scripture into "everyday" language undermines faith and trivializes Christ's message, the war against beauty in Catholic art, architecture, and worship, the fundamental error in the "new theologies", the stark contrast between what Vatican II actually said and how it's been interpreted, why heresy must be condemned (and even punished), how relativism supplanted belief in objective truth, tricks progressive theologians play with language, three types of contemporary Catholic philosophers and where they go wrong, and much, much more. -- Midwest Book Review
