Seeking the Truth?
If you are reading this, you might be looking for a resource to help a Catholic, whether yourself or someone you love, understand what the Bible says about the teachings of Catholicism. You have found it.
Dr. Anthony Pezzotta was a devout Roman Catholic priest from Italy: fifteen years in Salesian seminaries, ordained in Turin, and Director of Catholic schools and seminaries in the Philippines. In 1974, after years of comparing what he taught with what the Scriptures say, he trusted Christ alone and spent the rest of his life helping others have a truth encounter of their own. This book grew out of thousands of honest conversations: doctrine by doctrine, history, practice, and Scripture, examined by a man who knew Catholicism from within and loved Catholics deeply.
About the Book
“He examines, as one who knew Catholicism from within, a wide range of fundamental Catholic beliefs and practices and scrutinizes them in the light of God’s Word… As one reads through the book, he will find that the encounter is not with the author but with Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).”
“Truth Encounter is a must for every Roman Catholic and Protestant. Dr. Pezzotta’s love for Roman Catholics is matched only by his zeal for the truth.”
“Even though he chose to leave the Roman Catholic church, he did not dislike nor look down upon Roman Catholics… It was just that he could not continue to teach and practice what he could no longer believe.”
What Readers Say
“For several years now I’ve been giving this book as a gift to friends and office mates, particularly Catholics. I have known a few who actually encountered the Truth after reading the book.”
“God used it to open up my brother-in-law’s eyes. I badly need the book for Sunday school and for witnessing to Catholics.”
“It is very hard to find a resource that would lovingly yet informatively express the variance between the traditions we grew up with and what our Lord says in the Bible.”
“I was one of his former students. I received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior in 1983… I have been serving the Lord as a pastor since 1986.”
From the Family
Tony went home to be with his Savior on April 2, 2014. His wife, Zita, and their children, Marie, Angela, and Daniel, keep his book in print so that his story keeps opening doors for the Gospel. Proceeds support the ongoing work of making the book available.
