Seven Lies About Catholic History

In this fast-paced and enjoyable work Diane Moczar uses historical facts to defend the Crusades, the Dark Ages, the Inquisition, the pre-Reformation Catholic Church, the Church's position in the Galileo case, Spanish Catholic actions in the New World and more. Thoroughly familiar with the threadbare Church-as-Enemy-of-Mankind routine, she proves that Catholics in fact hold the historical high ground. Along the way, this breezy excursion sparkles with sidelights on medieval medicine, the medieval woman, usury, the Albigensian heresy, monarchy, the Byzantine Empire, the devastation caused by Protestantism, and many more topics. Moreover, Dr. Moczar also analyses underlying philosophies, showing how God Himself is the real target of anti-Catholic historical lies and explaining how to answer those lies. The reader will meet historians both good and bad; he will learn of secular authors who do not suffer from the prevailing anti-Catholic bias; and he will find suggested resources for further study. SEVEN LIES ABOUT CATHOLIC HISTORY does more than defend the Church: it also awakens Catholics to their true and fascinating history. It will entertain, it will educate and it will give a new appreciation for the wisdom and good works of Gods Church throughout the ages.
