Description

The Catholic Church in the 21st Century stands as one of the most controversial organisations in contemporary society. Counting more than 1.2 billion adherents, to its critics it is out of touch and stuck in the past. Some of its teachings – often challenging – remain little understood and Catholics can often find themselves on the receiving end of a barrage of criticism.

How to Defend the Faith Without Raising Your Voice answers some of the most common criticisms of Catholicism and helps Catholics and non-Catholics alike to understand where the Church is coming from on controversial topics like abortion, euthanasia, same-sex marriage and the use of condoms in the fight against HIV. It aims to re-frame the debate to help people understand why the Church teaches what it does and equips Catholics to defend their beliefs in a calm and rational way.
