Book Reviews of God Underneath: Spiritual Memoirs of a Catholic Priest
Book Review: God is NOT Only Underneath
Summary: 1 Stars
I just read this book for a second time, after recently encountering it in several churches. Turning the pages on parts about Father Beck's high school experiences, I feel as though I were there....because I was there! Though we did not know each other, Father Beck and I were in the same year at the same Brooklyn high school. I actually wrote to Father Beck after the first reading, reminding him that he did NOT have a license to reinvent Catholic theology.
Father Beck is in serious need of remedial theology. To counter such, I would initially recommend Peter Kreeft's Handbook of Christian Apologetics, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and/or the Compendium of the Catechism.
Evidencing serious ignorance about the Church's teaching on marriage and family, as well as the abortifacient potential of hormonal contraceptives, I would prescribe Pope John Paul II's Man and Woman He Created Them: A Theology Of The Body and Dr. Thomas Hilgers'Medical Applications of Natural Family Planning. Further along the medical lines, I would recommend the Vatican's Charter Health Care Workersand Dignitas Personae.
Talking lots about "social justice" but showing that he does not actually understand what the Church teaches on social matters, I would further urge him to read the Vatican's Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church.
