The Tide is Turning Toward Catholicism

Dave Hartline’s forthcoming book, The Tide is Turning Toward Catholicism, is available now for pre-order. The book may be pre-ordered by writing cathsales@tds.net or by calling 800-932-3826. If you would like a copy, but cannot afford one, please let me know and I will try to make sure you get one. I am going to get a hold of some copies for school and Christmas gifts (and for me of course!).

From my conversations with Dave, and seeing information about the book online, I think it looks to be an important book. The book is basically the good news that orthodox Catholicism is on the rise, and the silliness done in the “spirit of Vatican II” that started in the 1970s is beginning to decline as that particular generation gets older, although the effects of the silliness are still being seen (as the post below about the “Halloween Mass” shows). In fact, Dave’s book is much-needed good news since we are constantly barraged with the bad news. The book is not only about Catholicism, but about Protestantism as well. Dave interviews people from all denominations, and he even spent some time at the 2006 Episcopal General Convention.

Dave runs The Catholic Report, a Catholic News site/blog.

    I hope that as “conservatism” moves back into the Church, that only the bath water will be thrown out this time.

    Mike, I don’t think Dave is talking about conservatism, so much as orthodoxy. It would be very un-orthodox to simply abandon Vatican II and the recent teachings on social justice, etc.

    I believe we are now climbing very slowly out of the bottom of the trough, with a steep upturn expected in the very near future.

    We may not have a lot of time to work freely and with sufficient resources before the final attacks of secularism (perhaps encased in a new religion composed of ‘the best of all religions’). Then will come Islam, hopefully only after the Catholic Church regains her strength.

    But some in the Church seem not to be terribly hopeful–witness recent writings by Avery Cardinal Dulles that seem to imply that Catholics may need to learn to live under Islamic regimes.

    Mike, your point about the bath water is well-taken. The pendulum always swings through the center and does not stop until an extreme is reached. True moderation is difficult.
