Verus Deus: Introduction to Christianity

By: Dos Santos, Jonas Batista

A work of resolute apologetics, a combative treatise that exposes the Roman Catholic Church as the only bearer of revealed truth, the only one with salvific elements.
With ostentatious erudition and missionary zeal, he travels from Antiquity to modernity, from Helladic paganism to contemporary storms, to demonstrate the providential action of God in history, culminating in the Church as "pillar and foundation of truth".
The argument is sometimes anchored in the Scriptures in an exclusively Catholic key, as well as in Fathers of the Church, Doctors such as Thomas Aquinas and saints such as Montfort and defends papal infallibility, apostolic succession, the unilateral authority of the Catholic Church, Marian devotion and the efficacy of the sacraments. Complex phenomena such as the fall of the Roman Empire, the Crusades and the Inquisition are interpreted as stages in the unfolding of the divine plan.
The author recognizes deception and cheating as phenomena far from orthodoxy by betrayers of Christ and from this he derives the need to use a combative and often condemnatory non-pharisaical posture. Luther is characterized by "anonymous hatred," Protestantism as an instrument of Satan the divider, Judaizing is abhorred. The Church is shown as a force of light and progress, while heretics, pagans, and secular thinkers are forces of ignorance and destruction, driven by "evil inspiration," "lack of virility," or "cowardice." Any interpretative dissonance is attributed to moral or intellectual failure.
Prose is dense and scholarly and yet rigorously endogenous, it serves as a powerful affirmation of faith for traditionalist Catholics seeking confirmation and argumentative arsenal. For them, brutal honesty is a virtue. On the other hand, it proves to be profoundly inappropriate for non-Catholics, invariably classified as heretics or deceived. Catholics of ecumenical or liberal tendencies who seek acceptance of their vices will certainly reject inflammatory language and be scandalized by the lack of interreligious dialogue, despite the recognition of God's mercy.
In short, this is a monument of conviction and erudition confined to the confines of Catholicism. Of an intransigent nature, it arouses devotion in those who share its premises and provokes vehement rejection in all others, such as those who do not have the habit of dense reading because they are apa deutes.
It is a book practically inaccessible to anyone who does not belong to the most traditionalist and most erudite niche of Catholicism.
