Very good but with a few flaws

Frank Schaeffer writes with the zeal of the convert but (unfortunately) he also writes with a considerable polemic air. In credit to Frank he has much to be polemic about. The failures of Protestantism, the liberalism of post-Vatican II Catholicism, and the sad inroads made by liberalism into many corners of Orthodoxy. Frank means to sound a call to arms to defend the traditions of centuries handed down to us by the fathers and other predecesors but he needs to study earlier, more effective calls to arms. Maybe he needs to study Dale Carnegie a bit. As it stands though Frank is preaching a bit too much to the choir. He doesn't do a very good job of converting those who don't agree with him already.Perhaps Frank, working along with someone like Fr. Schlemman (of blessed memory), could issue a truly persuasive rallying call to fight modernism, feminism, liberalism and the host of other -isms infiltrating the Church. I for one hope and pray for such leaders to arise and rouse the Church.Minor flaws aside though Frank does a top notch job of investigating, pointing out, and analying many formidable challenges facing the Ancient Church and Faith in today's world. Unquestionably a worthwhile read.
