"Anti-Catholicism has become the last acceptable prejudice in what passes for polite society and has become so obvious and so pronounced that to even repeat the fact seems banal." Columnist, television host, author, and practicing Catholic, Michael Coren examines critical aspects of Catholicism as they are encountered, understood, and more importantly, misunderstood, today. For some, Catholicism is the only permanent, absolute body of truth, while for others it is the last permanent, absolute body that has to be opposed and stopped. Opening with a frank discussion of the abuse scandal, Why Catholics Are Right confronts four key issues in Catholic history-the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, and Galileo-often used by critics of the Catholic Church to undermine its position and authority. Michael Coren looks at Catholics and theology, explaining what and why Catholics believe what they do-Papal Infallibility, the Immaculate Conception, the Church rather than the Bible alone. Finally, he sets out the pro-life position, and why it is crucial to the Catholic Faith. In this challenging, provocative, and personal book, Michael Coren draws on history, politics, and theology to present the arguments for the truth of Catholicism, and its vital message for the world. As he comments, "The importance of Catholicism is that in a culture where various forms of religious and atheistic fundamentalism, crass materialism, and clawing decadence eat away at civility and civilization the only permanent, consistent and logically complete alternative is the Roman Catholic Church."

"Michael Coren has written a case for the Catholic faith that is the rarest kind of book: wonderfully readable, intellectually vigorous and stylish in its force. . . .The whole text is alive with fidelity, penetrating intelligence and the irony of our times, expressed with consummate skill. Highly recommended."
--Charles J. Chaput, Archbishop of Denver, Colorado
