Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered if the doctrines of the Pope, purgatory, or the ascension of Mary can be found in the Bible? What are the practical differences between Catholicism and Evangelicalism? Like author Mark Aldridge, maybe you also once thought that all Christians were nearly the same. In Calling All Catholics, Aldridge takes readers on a step-by-step analysis of the Catechism of the Catholic Church. With each important passage, he compares what the Catechism teaches with the teachings found in the Bible. He holds no punches when the two texts differ, but he is also quick to show points of agreement. Learn more about what the Bible and the Catechism say regarding the forgiveness of sins, the office of the Pope, the person of Mary, the death of Jesus, the nature of Communion and the Eucharist, the authority of Scripture, and even purgatory. Each doctrine encountered is discussed in relation to the teachings found in the Bible. With his clear, straightforward style of explanation, Calling All Catholics is perfect for anyone, laypeople and ministers alike, who wants to know more about the differences between the Bible-based Christianity and the Catholic faith.
