Two Protestant writers, David Riggs and Joseph Malone, set out the reasons they left the Catholic Church, from the sufficiency of Scripture and the infallibility of the Church to the papacy, Purgatory, confession, the Mass, and the honor given to Mary. In this volume the Catholic apologist Robert Sungenis takes up their case and answers it directly, argument by argument.
The result is a point-by-point response covering the full range of objections these authors raise, giving Catholic readers a clear, documented reply to some of the most common charges made against the faith.
