27 MOST COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
PREFACE
This
book has been written to dispel the rumours, lies and misconceptions held
against the Catholic Church worldwide. Some of the misconceptions about the
Catholic Church are products of heresy, apostasy, and schism. Despite the fact
that the Catholic Church is an embodiment of success in Christianity, some
critics still see the Church as an enigma, making it the most controversial
religious concept in the world. The controversies generated about the Catholic
Church have raised a lot of dust, unwarranted, within Christendom and the world
in general.
This
book attempts to give an insight on the fallacy of certain misconceptions about
the Catholic Church whilst laying forth the true position of things. It is
meant for reading and proper understanding of the true nature of the Catholic
Church as well as what she upholds and teaches. It is designed to lift the mask
off the minds of people who see the Catholic Church as a disaster instead of
the embodiment of truth about Jesus Christ and the followership which she truly
represents in the world.
The
misconceptions covered in this book may not be all-encompassing owing to the
dynamic nature of the false accusations often leveled on the Catholic Church;
however, twenty-seven most common misconceptions about the Catholic Church have
been raised and carefully analyzed.
Finally,
in writing this book, I have depended to some extent on literature and resource
materials which are difficult to come by, and to a large extent on inspiration
of the Holy Spirit.

INTRODUCTION
With a
population over one billion (1,121,516,000) 25 million of which are in Nigeria,[1] the
Catholic Church is the world’s largest religious body. It is also
Christianity’s oldest and more organized church. Despite the fact that the
Catholic Church is an embodiment of success in Christianity, some critics still
see the church as an enigma, making it the most controversial religious concept
in the world. The controversies about the Catholic Church have raised a lot of
dust, unwarranted, within Christendom and the world in general.
It
would not be out of place to state here that, the Catholic Church has endured
controversies and criticisms from certain quarters right from the 9th
Century to date. However, each heresy, schism, and apostasy was dealt with
according to the dictates of the scripture and teachings of Our Lord Jesus
Christ, under whose authority and commands the Catholic Church came into being.
The
following are twenty-seven (27) most common misconceptions about the Catholic
Church; each misconception is followed by answers revealing the actual position
of things in the Catholic Church. The thirty-three misconceptions were selected
from a number of questions and views obtained from the general public in the
course of the research leading to this book. The answers, however, are as given
by Priests, Catholic Research sources such as libraries and websites, and,
other authorities of the Catholic Church within and outside Nigeria.
It must
be stated that this book is not a platform for debate and should not serve as a
basis for one. It is meant for reading and proper understanding of the true
nature of the Catholic Church. It is meant to lift the mask off the minds of
people who see the Catholic Church as a disaster instead of the embodiment of
Christ’s followership which it truly is.
