In 2008, Pope Benedict XVI gave us a mandate to go forth and be witnesses of God's mercy, a source of hope for every person and for the whole world. Discover key teachings of Pope Benedict XVI to live this clear instruction, and to help you apply these teachings, the author, Dave Came, provides personal examples and summaries of the Pope's main points. The final chapter reveals how Pope Benedict is living the mandate himself as our Mercy Pope, building on the legacy of his beloved predecessor Pope John Paul II.

About this title

Review:

As a Protestant Minister, I sincerely believed and enthusiastically taught almost all the papal fictions which this books so deftly unmasks [30 of them in this book]. In a very readable style, it catalogs and refutes those fictions charitably and completely. Had it been available when I first began to be drawn to the Church, my journey home would have been years shorter. Following Mr. Madrid s suggestion, let us pray that countless non-Catholics will read this book and recognize that the stone (rock) which they have rejected is indeed the cornerstone of the true Church of Jesus Christ.

Throughout the centuries, the papal office has been the focus of many objections and condemnations. Mr. Madrid addresses many of these seemingly plausible arguments against the papacy, answering each of them with amazing clarity and readability. In a thorough fashion, each papal fable is exposed for what it is and refuted."Pope Fiction"is a powerful addition to one s library, a book that will never gather dust.

- Deacon David Hess co-author of"Jesus, Peter & the Keys""

"Pope Fiction"drives straight to the heart of the issue: Authority. It s the matter that most divides Christendom, especially Catholics and Protestants. This book addresses misconceptions about the papacy with a clear, organized, and readable style. Coming from an Evangelical Protestant background myself, I know these misunderstandings that surround the papacy well they are legion."Pope Fiction"couldn t be more timely, answering objections one at a time, and clearing the air for the beginning of the third millennium.

- Stephen Ray author of"Crossing the Tiber"and"Upon this Rock""

As an Evangelical pastor, I believed and proclaimed many of the misconceptions that are so thoroughly answered in this timely book. Now, as a Catholic, I m very happy to see the release of"Pope Fiction." It dispels those common misconceptions so effectively. Patrick Madrid s presentation of these common myths about the papacy is concise, complete, and includes a welcome tinge of humor. I highly recommend this book to all those who are looking for truth. They ll find it here.
