Jesuit Bias

Revisado: 02-07-24

Reader bewarned Father Byron is a staunch Jesuit. Likely like you if you are reading this review, you are looking for an introductory book on Catholicism to learn more about the faith, I would suggest reading the Catechism instead or listening to some more mainstream sources of information.

Father Byron being a Jesuit means he often inserts his own opinions into the text and has interpretations of scripture that are not necessarily consistent with the church but presents them as though they are.

It’s fine to be a Jesuit, obviously and Father Byron is indeed a good priest and I'm sure a very holy man. It's worth noting Pope Francis is a Jesuit himself. However, I found it disappointing to have so many radical progressive Jesuit talking points inserted into a book that I had hoped to use to learn more about my faith. Instead of calling it “Catholicism 101” maybe go with “Jesuit beliefs and doctrine.”

I can understand why this is promoted as the primary book on Catholicism on audible as its teachings are very progressive and more likely in line with politically correct beliefs on sexuality, gender and race.
