First off, I’m not suggesting that we should censor anybody.

It really frosts me when people who claim to be Catholic like Garry Wills or Peter de Rosa write books that condemn the faith and especially the Papacy. By protesting the Church’s beliefs, aren’t they really declaring themselves to be Protestant?

The reason I get upset is that their books are used as evidence by anti-Catholics in denouncing the faith. They will cite these book (“Catholic author de Rosa says …”) in support of their Catholic bashing. Of course these anti-Catholics never crack open a book written by a faithful Catholic like our own Karl Keating.
 
I have no problem with angry catholics writing books about the faith. There are many gripes I have with the church myself. But what does bother me is when they try to rewrite history. There’s enough REAL dirty laundry and dastardly deeds that can be found in the church without making stuff up. Just stay true to history and I have no problem with people writing.
