When the Roman Bough Breaks

""A passionate historical and theological survey, a fresh contribution. A plea to Catholics to return to the original, unadulterated gospel that stands out for the breadth of its approach."" -Foreword Clarion Reviews ""A thought-provoking exploration of the divergence between the early Church and modern practices, this book sheds light on the profound transformations within Catholicism over the centuries. Nottingham expertly articulates the richness of the original teachings, contrasting them with the current institutional practices that often obscure their essence. With clarity and depth, the narrative emphasizes the necessity of returning to the foundational tenets of faith, urging readers to embrace grace over self-reliance in the pursuit of salvation. An essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of their faith."" -James K Wicks, MA Counseling Psychology, Christian Counselor ""A passionate and well-researched contribution."" -IBPA Book Award Judge ""Much time, research, and prayer has gone into this compilation.
