Unmasking Catholicism

Mary Ann Collins, a former Catholic nun


Preface

In the early 1900s, a professional baseball team was accused of cheating. Unfortunately, the accusation proved to be true. A young fan met one of the team's players and, in tears, said: "Say it ain't so, Joe!"

I have often felt that way while doing research about the Roman Catholic Church. This caused me grief and distress, but I continued to pursue the research in spite of it, because I wanted to know the truth.

The truth is precious, even when it is painful. Our God is truth incarnate. (John 14:6; Romans 3:4) God promised that the truth would set us free. (John 8:32)

We all need God's truth. And we all need the strength and courage to live according to it. Keeping the long-range perspective of eternity will help.

Before you read this book, I'd like to share a poem with you.

Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.

Light my path and guide my way.
Make me faithful, so I'll stay
Close to You throughout the day,
Devoted to You in every way.

Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.

Open my eyes that I may see
The precious truth that You have for me.
Open my heart to love as You do.
Enable me to be faithful and true.

Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
