In this book, Karl Adam seeks to identify the "spirit" or essence
of Roman Catholicism. He gives particular weight to the doctrine of
the Mystical Body of Christ, which he considers crucial to the
problems of the present age, when mankind is desperately seeking a
principle of unity and authentic community. There is a place these
divinely established bonds can be found - the Church - and this
locus of mankind's spiritual unity sheds light on all of Catholic
belief and practice: the Papacy, the communion of Saints, the
Church Militant, Suffering, and Triumphant, the means of salvation,
the necessity of the sacraments, the universality and authority of
the Church, and much else.
The Spirit of Catholicism is an accessible, articulate, and
compelling presentation of the fundamental tenets of the Catholic
faith, explaining to all - Catholic and non-Catholic alike -
exactly what the Church represents. Its thirteen illuminating
chapters comprise one of the finest works of Catholic apologetics
written in the last 100 years, and are must-reading for anyone
wishing to more deeply appreciate and comprehend the riches of
Catholicism.
