Following
the success of Question Time – 150 Questions
and Answers on the Catholic Faith, first published in 2008
and now in its third Australian edition, Fr Flader here offers 150 more
questions and answers on everything Catholic: doctrine, the sacraments, moral
life, prayer and devotions. They are taken from the author’s popular Question
Time column, now in its eighth year, in Sydney’s The
Catholic Weekly. The column also appears in The
Record in Perth.
The
book is written in a balanced, easy-to-read style and contains a wealth of
information that will be invaluable for anyone who is interested in finding out
more about the Catholic faith or who is in a position to hand on the faith to
others: priests, teachers, catechists, parents, RCIA coordinators, sacramental
program coordinators, recent converts...
“Fr
John Flader’s book provides a useful and much needed explanation of the faith
drawn from the Scriptures, the Patristics and the Councils. Many enquirers in
the faith and RCIA members will find the text helpful and informative. It is an
ideal complement to the Catechism
of the Catholic Church, to which it is amply referenced. I
strongly recommend this excellent faith resource.”
– Most Rev B.J. Hickey,
Archbishop Emeritus of Perth
“At
a time when what the Catholic Church believes and teaches seems perplexing,
even absurd to many people, there is a need to explain clearly and simply why
the Church believes and teaches what she does. We need a new apologetics. Here
Fr John Flader offers a presentation of Catholic teaching which shows that,
however strange it may seem to contemporary culture, Catholic teaching is the
fruit of long experience and deep thought.”
– Most Rev. Mark Coleridge,
Archbishop of Brisbane
“Fr
Flader’s Question Time is in the
tradition of the apologetics of Fulton J. Sheen. He explains the Church’s
teaching and practices in a straight-forward way without any spin. The
information is very up to date, including references to the works of Joseph
Ratzinger/Benedict XVI. A great resource for handing on the faith.”
– Professor Tracey Rowland,
Dean, John Paul II Institute for Marriage and Family , Melbourne
