‘… given the attraction that Roman Catholicism is exerting on some Protestants, it is essential that its errors be exposed’, so writes R. C. Sproul in the closing pages of his book, giving us his purpose for writing.
It is certainly striking how many Protestants are clamouring for greater closeness with Rome and yet, as Sproul so carefully points out, the gulf between the Protestant and Roman Catholic wings of Christendom is, in truth, no narrower than at the time of the Reformation. Indeed, though in many ways the Roman Church has changed, ‘… the differences are greater now’, because such tenets as papal infallibility and Mariology are all post-Reformation developments.
