In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews Dr. Gerard Verschuuren on his book Disputed Catholic Landmarks (November 11, 2024)

Everyone’s life has landmarks: when you were born, when you graduated from school, when you got your first job, when you got married, and so many more. There must be many landmarks in the history of the Catholic Church, too. Just think of issues such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Protestant Reformation, the Holocaust, and several more. What all of them also have in common is that they are disputed, challenged, and contested—ripe for discussion and open to various interpretations. Is it possible to dispel misinformation from people’s minds that are filled with prejudiced opinions? Verschuuren endeavors in this book to do just that, separating truths from untruths, facts from fictions, and information from disinformation.
