The Catholic Church

by Michael Ruth (Editor)

Overview

While the Catholic faith offers spiritual guidance for millions of individuals, like any other religion, it is not without controversy. Editor Michael Ruth has compiled several essays in a for-or-against sequence that allows readers to see that every controversy has compelling arguments. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate what the Catholic Church's stance on homosexuality is, the role that the church plays in health issues, what issues are facing service, and how the Catholic church should interact with the secular world.

Editorial Reviews

Review: The Catholic Church "Each volume in the Opposing Viewpoints series could serve as a model...not only providing access to a wide diversity of opinions, but also stimulating readers to do further research for group discussion and individual interest. Both shrill and moderate, the selections—by experts, policy makers, and concerned citizens—include complete articles and speeches, long book excerpts, and occasional cartoons and boxed quotations...all up to date and fully documented. The editing is intelligent and unobtrusive, organizing the material around substantive issues within the general debate. Brief introductions to each section and to each reading focus the questions raised and offer no slick answers."—Booklist
