Not as heavy-hitting and provocative as the title might suggest. Some controversies tend to get short shrift. Basically, Bonagura will simply claim that something is a church teaching and the Church is an authority, so we need to accept it. Most answers are sufficient though. Better than plowing through the Catechism. Good for younger Catholics, and Christians generally, who’re curious about their faith.
