Answering Orthodoxy RELEASED!

Answering Orthodoxy RELEASED!

What if there’s a better Christian religion than Catholicism? One that has true apostolic doctrines, a more beautiful and ancient liturgy, and freedom from all that “pope” baggage—and valid sacraments, too.

That’s what apologists for Eastern Orthodoxy are selling. In a time of uncertainty and confusion for many Catholics, Orthodox challenges to the Church’s history, teaching, worship, and authority structure have been drawing Catholics away in hope of greener pastures in the East.

But those thinking of jumping off the barque of Peter toward the siren song of Eastern Orthodoxy—and for Protestants who’d like Catholicism’s historical pedigree without all the mess—need to think twice. In Answering Orthodoxy, Michael Lofton (Reason & Theology Podcast) shows why, with a thorough and critical refutation of Orthodox attacks against the Church.

Formerly Eastern Orthodox himself, Lofton has the knowledge and experience to uncover the flaws in the most common anti-Catholic arguments from Orthodoxy’s top advocates. From intricate doctrinal debates to the historical flubs and foibles of the popes, right on down to the basic understandings (and misunderstandings) of the sacraments Catholics and Orthodox share but don’t always agree on, Answering Orthodoxy shows where Orthodox attacks go wrong. In so doing, he not only strengthens Catholic conviction in the truth of the Faith, but also shows the Orthodox that there’s not as much distance between them and the Church as they might think, and unity with Rome might be closer than ever.

Whether you’re frustrated with today’s Church and find yourself attracted to Orthodoxy’s antiquity, beauty, and religious rigor, or you’re just looking to learn the best Catholic responses to Orthodox arguments, Answering Orthodoxy will equip and edify you.

Are you tired of all the confusion in the Catholic Church? So was I! For this reason, I decided to intensely study the Catholic Magisterium in order to discern between what people say about the Catholic Church vs. what it actually says and teaches. If you are a confused Catholic, or are discerning becoming a Catholic, Reason & Theology offers you an in-depth examination of the situation in the Catholic Church that will help make sense of the confusion.

Never. I would never turn my back on the Catholic Church.

[vareljulian]

Want to be catholic, but want to attend byzantine rite of orthodox church? Then the solution is just join the Eastern Catholic Church❤

[aldoschiavone]

What would possess a true Catholic to leave his/her Church🤷🏻‍♂️

[Oldparson]

I could never understand how orthodox pray for the dead, but adamantly deny the teaching of purgatory.

[elenag]

Not a chance…would I leave the flock of Peter, with the keys to Heaven. Why would I risk going to Heaven? But, I’m interested in learning what this book has to say.

I'm neither Michael- I'm a simple Pachamama enthusiast: one part Pacha enjoyer (Emperor's New Groove), and one part Mama (Mary) lover!

I appreciated how clear and eay-to-use this book was. 5 stars!

[wilsonmelendez]

Just bought the book. Looking forward to reading it. Also, thank you Michael for your free book about church chaos. Not so much helped me to deal with church crisis but helped me during confession to see myself as one of the thieves that rejects or accepts our suffering head of the church, Jesus on the Cross. It helped alot.

I ordered the book last night. I can’t wait to start reading!

[mulipolatuuumataafatiufeaa]

Hope to read it for guidance and will remain a strong member of the One Holy Catholic Apostolic Church established by Christ Matthew 16:13-20 which is in total Communion with the Pope 2, 000 years ago. Orthodoxy is a group of rebellions.. Disobeying the sucessor of Peter in Roma is not orthodoxy but the opposite.

[stephenwinters]

Your book appeals to Catholics and Protestants. Do you have a book that appeals to the Orthodox?

[sgiresi]

Obviously you have not debated an Orthodox apologist lately. Let me recommend Jay dyer if you want a classical debate or a Scriptural debate then Sam Shamoun.
