I think Catholics (especially American Catholics) are being exposed to many things more dangerous than "gutter theology" (wow, could you possibly come up with a more abrasive and condescending term?) After all, most of these doctrines are not even truly heterodox, much less heretical.

I don't feel the need to mince words. Much of these "bookstore" theologies are thought up in hours or days by hucksters looking to make a dollar. And they're easily torn apart.

Compare to the the traditional theology first propogated by the Church Fathers that were discussed for hundreds of years. Truly great minds like St. Augustine, Thomas Aquinas. Compare to Tim LaHaye and the "late great planet earth" dude.
