Book Reviews of The Great Apostasy
Book Review: An interesting perspective
Summary: 5 Stars
All personal religious feelings aside, this is an interesting look at the early catholic church. Several reviewers have condemmed it as purely anti-Catholic rhetoric. The author makes a point in the book to say that it is a history of the corrupt nature of the Catholic church in the past, not a judgement on the present Catholic church. Differences obviously remain between Catholics and Mormons, but the Catholic church has come a long way from the history presented in the book.
Everyone agrees that the Pope these days is a gnarly guy and that the Catholic church is a wonderful organization now that they're not torturing and burning folks. This history points out that the Pope's of old weren't quite so gnarly; orgies in the Vatican, murder, bribery, etc.
The author cites work mainly from prominent non LDS historians so the only argument someone can really have is how the history is presented, ah well. To a Mormon or Catholic (or anyone else for that matter), this book is pretty interesting. It's pretty deep reading though.
