Catholicism Unveiled

What Hides Behind the Public Image?

Mary Ann Collins, A Former Catholic Nun

REVIEWS

“The Catholic Undertow is a well-documented, historical summary of significant ‘behind-the-scenes’ facts that urge the reader to evaluate and further explore. In itself, the book is not meant to be exhaustive, but a starting point, stimulating examination of any one, or all, of the topics addressed. It is not weighted down with technical details, but divided into sections that are clear and concise. Difficult information, that needs to be known, is offered in a gracious manner that personally challenges the reader to think critically, in order to responsibly examine and respond to the truth that is presented.”

Mary C. Hertel
A former Roman Catholic Nun

“Today’s ecumenical movement has drawn many Protestants and Catholics together under the belief of sharing a common faith, but underlying this movement is a lack of familiarity with the history and official doctrines of the Roman Catholic Church... Many Catholic teachings remain out of view for the average church-goer and mass-attendee. The Catholic Undertow uncovers and documents a great deal of this information, and presents it in easy-to-understand language.”

“Mary Ann’s hard work and research helped to clear my mind... I thank her for being faithful to her calling. Her commitment has helped the healing of my soul.”

“The questions that this book asks, and its researched conclusions, should cause us all to wake up and understand what we believe, and why we believe it... If you are a seeker of truth, I challenge you to read this book, investigate its conclusions, and decide for yourself the ultimate truth of what you read. I encourage you to delve into each topic for yourself and make a decision based on knowledge, not ignorance.”

“As a former Catholic, as well as a former member of a religious order, I have a great love for all those sincere and gentle people who, with great faithfulness, have been ardent lovers of the Catholic Church. I am so sorry to have to say that no institution or tradition can replace the truth of the words of our Risen Savior. Each of us has the responsibility to seek His truth, lest we drift away because of our own carelessness.”
