Synopsis

Why do you stay Catholic? Chances are you're one of the millions of Catholics that have been asked this question by confused friends or family. You know, the ones who think you have a Catholic "condition" rather than a Catholic "conviction". How you respond depends on how well you can explain why you believe what you believe. Truly Accessible Teaching

By special arrangement, St. Joseph Communications is pleased to announce the first in a new series of clear, concise and low-priced books based on the best-selling audio presentations by Dr. Scott Hahn, Ph.D. The Why Stay Catholic? series will present Dr. Hahn's reflections on important topics of vital interest to Catholics today, in a format that makes his remarkable teaching more accessible than ever before.

Edited by Dr. Carol Younger, Ed.D., Why Stay Catholic? Answering Common Objections, Volume I: Mary and the Pope finally brings two of Dr. Hahn's most popular talks to the printed page. In this fascinating little book, you'll discover the Catholic Truth about the Blessed Virgin Mary, the most important saint of those saved by Christ, and her role in the faith of all Christians. And learn to share who (and what) the Roman Pontiff really is for Catholics, as Dr. Hahn's dynamic teaching offers exciting ways to help confused friends and relatives understand the true character of the Blessed Mother and the true function of the papal office. Leading Catholic Author

Professor of Biblical Theology at the Franciscan University of Steubenville, Ohio and the Director of the St. Paul Center for Biblical Theology, Dr. Scott Hahn, Ph.D. has had several number one best-selling books in the category of Catholic non-fiction and was named "The leading author of Catholic hardcover books" for 2002 by the Catholic Book Publishers Association.

Because of his detailed knowledge of both Scripture and theology, Dr. Hahn has become a most effective advocate for the truth of the Catholic Church, and he is considered to be one of the most inspirational Catholic writers and speakers in the United States. Now, thanks to Professor Hahn's clear teaching from a Biblical perspective, you will see the central treasures of the Catholic Faith in their true scriptural settings in the first of an exciting new series designed to help you answer the question: Why Stay Catholic? LEARN: How controversies arose regarding these commonly held objections How non-Catholics are often mislead by learning to focus on selective readings of Scripture and private interpretation Why the vast majority of non-Catholic questions and objections to Catholic beliefs about Mary and the Papacy stem from Scripture What relevant principles of Church teaching support these essential Catholic doctrines How to use the Bible to defend the truth of Catholic teaching Where to find key Scripture passages that will help confused friends and relatives understand the true character of the Blessed Mother and the true function of the papal office How all the Marian doctrines are to be found in the Bible How the Old Testament foretells in types and figures both the Blessed Virgin Mary and the office of the Papacy
