Title: A mean-spirited corruption of Catholic ideas--Yukkh!
Review: Wow...I can see that I'm in the minority here. So be it. Thisis a nasty, pretentious, and near-blasphemous book, rich in theCalvinist and Jansenist heresies, lacking utterly in anything I would call compassion, and having nothing in common with genuine Catholic teaching.Not convinced? You could read it, as I did, but it's as likely to make you furious as inspired. We are a schizophrenic species in some ways, and this book shines kleig lights on the main faultline: Whether one views humanity as halfway home on the upward road to God, or halfway down on the inevitable freefall into Hell.Basically, if you hate humanity, you'll love this book. If you love humanity, you'll hate it.If you're a genuine Catholic, you'll shake your head and be glad that fewer and fewer people seem to think this way as time goes on.
