Story
The world hates the Church that Jesus founded, just as He said it would (John 15:18). It reviles her doctrines, mocks her moral teachings and invents lies about her history. In every age, but especially in our modern day, historians and political powers have distorted the facts about her past (or just made up novel falsehoods from scratch) to make the Church, and the civilization it fostered, seem corrupt, backward, or simply evil.

Story
It took nearly two millennia for the enemies of the Catholic Church to realize they could not successfully attack the Church from the outside. Indeed, countless nemeses from Nero to Napoleon succeeded only in creating sympathy and martyrs for our Catholic Faith. That all changed in the mid-19th century, when clandestine societies populated by Modernists and Marxists hatched a plan to subvert the Catholic Church from within. Their goal: to change Her doctrine, Her liturgy, and Her mission.

Story
Most Christians are familiar with the Apostle Paul's teaching that Christ is the "Bridegroom" and the Church is the "Bride." But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding?

In the late 19th century, Father Charles Arminjon, a priest from the mountains of southeastern France, assembled his flock in the town cathedral to preach a series of conferences to help them turn their thoughts away from this life's mean material affairs - and toward the next life's glorious spiritual reward. His wise and uncompromising words deepened in them the spirit of recollection that all Christians must have: the abiding conviction that heavenly aims, not temporal enthusiasms, must guide everything we think, say, and do.

In Why We’re Polarized, Klein reveals the structural and psychological forces behind America’s descent into division and dysfunction. Neither a polemic nor a lament, this book offers a clear framework for understanding everything from Trump’s rise to the Democratic Party’s leftward shift to the politicization of everyday culture. America is polarized, first and foremost, by identity. Everyone engaged in American politics is engaged, at some level, in identity politics.

What makes “cults” so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join - and more importantly, stay in - extreme groups. We secretly want to know: could it happen to me? Amanda Montell’s argument is that, on some level, it already has.

When Orwell went to England in the 30's to find out how industrial workers lived, he not only observed but shared in their experiences. He stayed in cramped, dreary lodgings and subsisted on the scant, cheerless diet of the poor. He went down into the coal mines and walked crouching, as the miners did, through a one- to three-mile passage too low to stand up in. He watched the back-breaking, dangerous labor of men whose net pay then averaged $575 a year.

uncomfortably true
When a faithful Catholic hears about figures within the Catholic Church advocating open borders, the seamless garment Doctrine, liberation theology, and a number of other positions that previously they understood to be categorically antithetical to the Catholic church, it is understandable that faithful Catholics might be confused.
Be confused no more.
In entertaining fashion, the author delineates Catholic Doctrine as opposed to what people often think Catholic Doctrine is.
The reader does a generally good job trying to maintain an appropriate level of emotion and intensity at different points, but there are a number of times that words are mispronounced, although those are few.
The chapter breaks and tracks operations are not in alignment with one another. this is maybe one of two minor criticisms of the book that I think are very valid. I believe there are 79 total tracks, and there are certainly not 79 chapters. Where is this does make it more convenient 2 get back into a book at a point closer to where you may have left off, that is usually accomplished in the audible app by itself. I don't know why there are 79 different sections in this book.
the authors list of topics that are dealt with is very broad but generally focuses on areas which are popularly misconstrued vs those positions which are authentically Catholic.
some of the topics dealt with r pacifism, the death penalty, immigration, Liberation theology, socialism, Vatican 2, and a number of others.
a person might think, when looking at the cover, that the book will have no criticism of the right. That is not true. There is adequate criticism provided of a number of right-wing actors that do not support positions which are doctrinally Catholic. There is more than adequate criticism of those such as Murray Rothbard.
The true fulcrum on which the author balances criticism is Catholic Doctrine. Whether from the right or from the left, none of those but claim Catholic alignment but cannot align themselves with the position of the Catholic Church are spared criticism.
in general, the book is excellent. Certainly, there could be some improvements, but not without undermining the breadth or depth of the coverage of the material.
the book manages the trick of being fairly long, but at the end, the reader is surprised and a little bit disappointed that there isn't just one more chapter.

Convincingly flawed on Some Topics
The author doesn't pull any punches. Unfortunately, his punches sometimes aim at strawman man arguments. I really wanted to like this book and some chapters of this book ARE very good.
The author criticizes the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Papal Encyclicals, the Movie Ordo.
It's not upsetting that the author criticizes St. John Paul II the Great, Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis on issues such as immigration, the death penalty, the welfare state, etc. Well, it is; however, the problem is that the author sometimes uses extreme examples to try to prove his point. Readers, listeners, with background on these issues, will be annoyed at the weakness of his arguments on SOME issues.
A Conservative Catholic.

Good for a laugh
Man, oh, man, (and I do mean m-a-n) does this guy hate feminism! And women. And the American Democratic Party. And anything about abortion. And, well, all tenets other than his own. Whew! There is a misogynistic tirade in nearly every alternating chapter, spewn whilst defending Catholicism. The other chapters are spent just defending Catholicism in one way or another, sometimes defensibly, usually to great comic effect.
I spent every chapter blowing holes in his arguments using rationales he previously offered—which is great fun while walking briskly. There are too many logical fallacies to enumerate here; the short version is that you must be a "faithful" Catholic (by his exact reckoning) and swallow his erroneous rationales, or you are wrong. If you fail to agree with him, you should just leave the church. Hint: just leave the RCC if you are female, the misogny is toxic.
Several places in the book he mentions that Catholics are losing 40% of their born-to-Catholic-parents' demographics. Reading this stream of blind woman-hatred is exactly why, although he fails to mention that women leave the RCC in bigger numbers than men. His chapter on Mary Daly especially expresses Catholicism's misogyny as well as his own.
Yet, I laughed at his centuries-old nonsense and the vehemence with which he delivered his beliefs about how the world should be. The fallacies were *that* obvious and gaping.
Who says that feminists do not have a sense of humor? Once past the chilling effect on women's lives this fellow wants for all women—Catholic or otherwise—the book is really laugh-out-loud humorous, full of ridiculous exaggerations, self-contradictions and inept conclusions.
Read it for a risible look at a couple of thousand of years' of woman-hating defended by a near-raving man that one might picture waving a tattered bible and yelling religious dogma on a crowded city street corner. Worth the chuckle if that is what you are up for in a book.

Awful.
The author starts with an absolute falsehood, and it goes downhill from there. He says that any pope who says anything that contradicts anything any previous pope has said “discredits himself and his office” and becomes a “shadow pope, a ghost pope.”
That is complete BS. Papal infallibility is limited to ex cathedra pronouncements, and there have only been two of those: concerning the Immaculate Conception and the Annunciation.
Catholics are required to educate their consciences in light of the Church’s teachings, then, according to Thomas Aquinas, to follow their consciences.
This guy is way off base.
I guess I should have been warned by the title.
I’m going to see if I can get a refund.

Surprisingly negative
As a Catholic, born and raised in a former underground Catholic community of a Communist country, I found this book discouraging. While highly intelectual and analytical, it didn't provide enough reasons to follow Catholic church and its teaching, but focused on drowning the listener in endless list of criticism and scandals. Where does supernatural grace fit in his thinking?

Well read, and brings up several good points
This book brings up good points and paints a fearless defense of catholic doctrine that is enlightening to the interested reader. That said the author undermines himself by focusing at times on refuting fringe arguments on the edge of existence or that have lost adherents entirely while also taking fringe stances himself on a couple issues like climate change and population growth as well. The book recommendations are quite helpful and overall a worthwhile read.

very informative and facetiously funny
I really enjoyed this book ... very illuminating on how the Catholic church operates and written in a facetious and sarcastic tone and had me laughing and solemnly nodding at the same time ... I learnt what the infallibility of the Pope really means and the explanation of the concept of the majesterium ... illuminating and informative ... the media portrays the church as irrelevant, archaic, anti-women, oppressively authoritarian etc etc... but as a system of faith , belief and church tradition it really is a structure of divine revelation ... the book is brutally honest about the church's failings e.g. the paedophilia scandals ... but at the same shows that the church has been and continues to be a beacon of truth in these days of authoritarian political correctness e.g. same sex marriage, safe places, identity politics, acceptance and entrenchment of gay rights, the damage feminism has inflicted upon society, the false teachings of socialism and liberation theology and the murdering machine of Planned Parenthood. Thank God for the Catholic Church. btw I'm a protestant ...
