I hate to disappoint you, Conservative, and de-fuse your ammo, but I haven't even SEEN a Jack Chick comic in 25 years, never read a Dave Hunt book, and have never heard of the book you referred to as the bible of anti-catholicism. I limit my catholic education to Ott's "Fundamentals of Catholic Dogma", the NAB and Douay-Rheims versions of the Bible, Geisler's "Roman Catholics and Evangelicals: Agreements and Differences", newadvent.org, and EWTN (are those the right call-letters?) (I especially enjoy listening to Mother Angelica Live).

I also suggest that you add Catechism of the Catholic Church to your collection of source material. You can also read it online here

If you are feeling saucy, you may also want to check out these books by Robert Sungenis:

Not by Scripture Alone: A Catholic Critique of the Protestant Doctrine of Sola Scriptura
Not by Faith Alone : A Biblical Study of the Catholic Doctrine of Justification
Not by Bread Alone: The Biblical Evidence for the Eucharistic Sacrifice

Sungesis's books are wonderful, exhaustive defenses of Catholic teaching. Each book tries very hard to be non-polemical, and succeeds IMO. They also contain critiques, in the classical sense, of classical Protestant teaching and modern Protestant writings, including Geisler. If you love Truth, then I cannot even begin to recommend these books enough.

Pray for John Paul II

I also suggest that you add Catechism of the Catholic Church to your collection of source material. You can also read it online here:

Yes, I use the catechism, too. It's on the newadvent.org website along with the catholic encyclopedia and other documents. Actually I use two other sources that I left out also: A book called "Who's Who in Christianity" (publisher: Routledge) and the Vatican website. So, in all, I'm learning from only one source written by a protestant; all other sources are catholic. So you guys can't group me with the "Chick" crowd!! Thanks.
