Summary

Nearly 40 years ago, Ralph Martin's best-selling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the church faces even more insidious threats from outside and within.

In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching. With copious evidence, Martin uncovers the forces working to undermine the Body of Christ and offers hope to those looking for clarity.

A Church in Crisis covers:

  • Polarization in the church caused by ambiguous teachings
  • Initiatives that accommodate the culture without calling for conversion
  • Vatican-sponsored partnerships with organizations that actively contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church
  • And the recycling of theological errors long settled by Vatican II, Pope St. John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI

Powerfully written, A Church in Crisis reminds all listeners to heed Jesus' express command not to lead his children astray. With ample resources to encourage readers, Ralph Martin provides the solid foundation of Catholic teaching both Scripture and tradition to fortify Catholics against the errors that threaten us from all directions.

Realistically harsh, pragmatic and hopeful

Anyone and everyone in the Catholic Church, especially those involved in ministry, should read this book and take it very seriously. It’s a difficult read because it’s harsh in its realistic view of the Catholic church today, and you may not like some of the uncompromising standards it sets, but the book provides essential and practical answers to the problems it highlights and ultimately, points to hope in a loving God. We would ignore the answers at our own peril.

A crucial assessment

Ralph Martin gives a sober and balanced account of the situation of the Church in our present day. It gives an important wake-up call for everyone and a reminder of our responsibilities, and the eternal consequences of failing to fulfil them.
