How to defend your faith without raising your voice

Published in seven languages and with a dozen editions, we have in hand a collection of valuable texts by the British journalist and Vaticanist Austen Ivereigh, to which a few contributions by Portuguese authors, coordinated by Pedro Gil, have also been added. - How can we reconcile the Pope's questioning about the welcoming attitude the Church should show in dealing with homosexuals, when he states: "Who am I to judge?" - and the stance of Catholics in accepting papal infallibility and that the Pope was chosen by the Holy Spirit? - Jesus always condemned the hypocrisy of formal legalisms, yet the Church, in contrast, is pointed out as always ready to approve the legal conformity of behaviors, and to disapprove normal decisions, if taken in disagreement. These are some of the naturally pressing questions reflected here, for which enlightening answers are presented. But from the argumentative set, an efficient and challenging piece of advice is gathered, which can be summarized in the following proactive attitude: "When the Church appears in the news, there are people who are surprised, others who are indignant, and even some who are scandalized; but, at that moment, everyone is truly interested and willing to listen to you. Learn to take advantage of these situations. Just like the project, the book has a simple message: when the focus of controversy is on you, don't deflect or hide - take it as an opportunity. Don't hide - prepare yourself. That's what this book is for."
