Saving Those Damned Catholics chronicles the reasons why the
current mess within the Catholic Church is not something that
should surprise anyone, whether Catholic, Protestant, or just
curious. After all, as the story unfolds you will learn how a
bureaucracy has replaced individual commitment; and how politics
has become far too appealing to the majority of Catholic bishops.
It is no surprise that Americans scoff at Catholic teachings on
birth control, abortion and euthanasia. The statistics tell the
tale: most Catholics don't know what the Church teaches on these
matters of life and death, and if they do, they choose to disagree
and - ho-hum - the hierarchy moves on.
Saving Those Damned Catholics outlines the logic behind the most
controversial teachings in the Church today, and exposes the
arguments put forth by priests and bishops who clearly do not agree
with some of these teachings themselves. Astounding as it may seem,
there are reasons why federal funding has become more important
than protecting innocent life; why popularity among the most
liberal of politicians has trumped Pope Benedict XVI's call to be
good shepherds and, indeed, to be counter-cultural. There are
reasons why homosexuals are still in the seminaries; and there are
reasons why the vast majority of Catholics use birth control and
condone abortion.
Ever wonder why people like Bill O'Reilly, Ted Kennedy and others
in public life get away with distorting Catholic teaching? Scoffing
at the truth? Taking it upon themselves to "correct" the Pope on
national television? This book will give you a bird's eye view into
what is being said and what is not being done to set the record
straight.
As Judie Brown put this book together she was able to interview
several Catholic priests, including two bishops. One of the most
interesting comments she heard is that the United States Conference
of Catholic Bishops is not only a major part of the problem these
days, but is an entity that should be deconstructed - abolished, as
one priest put it. The bureaucracy has become synonymous with doing
nothing to rock the proverbial political boat. But you'll just have
to read the book to learn more.
In summary, Saving Those Damned Catholics exposes the warts on the
underbelly of the Catholic leadership in America today, and it is
not a pretty picture. Too many among them are caught up in a
twisted vision of what it takes to effectively lead Catholics.
There is too much moral relativism and too little desire to say
what is right, especially when doing so will bring down the wrath
of the media and maybe even a few politicians.
Regardless of your opinion about Catholics and their Church, don't
miss the chance to read one woman's account of history - a history
that continues to unfold before our eyes.

"Judie Brown's work fills a void screaming for attention - the
persistent relentless assault on Catholic orthodoxy by dissidents
attempting to reshape the church in their image. She spells it out
and names the names without violating Christian charity. She
deserves a wide hearing."
- Ray Kerrison, New York Post columnist
Judie Brown has never been one to sit back and let the devil have
his way. Her great new work, Saving Those Damned Catholics, tells
it like it is. I thank Judie for her forthright analysis of the
state of the Church. She is not just telling us what is wrong - she
is giving us our marching orders.
-Father Tom Euteneuer, President, Human Life International
We can always count on Judie Brown and American Life League to keep
up with the shenanigans of the so-called "Catholic" leaders.
Judie's call for authentic leadership from the nation's bishops and
priests is key to rejuvenating the Catholic Church's role in
American life.
