By John Salza
For over 2,000 years the Catholic Church has been celebrating the Eucharist as the source and summit of the Christian Faith – and it is still one of the most divisive doctrines separating Catholics and Protestants today.
Author, lawyer, and a leading defender of the faith, John Salza, unpacks this pillar of the Catholic Faith in the same clear, engaging style that has drawn thousands of readers to his other works. Here Salza demonstrates how, without question, the Eucharist, as the body and blood of Jesus Christ, is deeply rooted in biblical history.
Whether you are defending, questioning or exploring the role of the Eucharist in the Catholic faith, you will come away from The Biblical Basis for the Eucharist with a crystal clear understanding of what the Church teaches and why from a scriptural perspective.
Extensively footnoted, yet filled with the passion of a courtroom drama, this book outlines the Eucharist and the Mass in fascinating detail:
Learn the story of how the Old Testament sacrificial system was the foundation of the Church’s celebration of the Eucharist . . . how the Mass applies Christ’s sacrifice to the faithful through time and space . . . why belief in the Eucharist is key to understanding God’s nature and His wonderful plan of salvation…and so much more!
Regardless of your level of knowledge about the Eucharist or the Catholic faith, you will come away from The Biblical Basis for the Eucharist with a greater appreciation for the sacrifice of the Mass and a deeper relationship with our Eucharistic Lord.

Many good Catholic men have been deceived into becoming Masons. In this powerful little book, a Catholic attorney and former 32nd degree Mason clearly shows why joining Masonry (including the Shriners) means embracing a false religion.
Having authored Masonry Unmasked for general readership, here John Salza writes specifically for Catholics, showing why the Church has always condemned Freemasonry and continues to do so today.
John Salza explains Masonic doctrines, rituals, oaths and curses, showing that Masonry is totally incompatible with Christianity and that a Catholic who joins it has rejected Christ and is headed for eternal damnation.
Packed with facts and very well documented (over 150 endnotes), Why Catholics Cannot Be Masons is a brief but potent revelation by a man who has been there – and then returned to the One True Faith.
Includes a list of all the papal condemnations of Freemasonry, a list of the Church’s declarations on “No Salvation Outside the Church” (Extra ecclesiam nulla salus est), the Church’s most recent statement on Freemasonry in 2007, a sample resignation letter for “Catholic” Masons, and a Glossary of Catholic and Masonic terminology.

The papacy of the Catholic Church is the longest-living institution in the civilized world — and at times one of the most controversial due to the basic doctrines of:
papal authority
papal infallibility
apostolic succession
Drawing upon Old and New Testament Scriptures, Tradition, and the words of the early Church Fathers, author, lawyer, and noted Catholic apologist John Salza presents a comprehensive and compelling story of the papacy from a biblical perspective.
Arguments against the papacy are weighed and refuted in a charitable but convincing manner, making this a valuable resource for everyone intrigued or confused by the nearly 2,000-year- old papal office — regardless of your faith background.
Whether you are defending, questioning, or exploring the Catholic Faith, this book provides the most concise and clear examination of the Catholic Church’s supreme teaching office as instituted by Jesus Christ.

By John Salza
There's a misconception that the Catholic Church "made up" a lot of its teachings. That much of what Catholics believe has no foundation in Scripture.
How do you debunk that myth if you're a devout Catholic but your knowledge of Scripture is spotty? How do you get to the truth if you're a fervent non-Catholic but your understanding of Catholic Church teaching is shaky? (How do you do that if it's downright inaccurate?)
The Biblical Basis for the Catholic Faith is written for both audiences. In a non-confrontational manner, author John Salza quotes only from the Bible to explain the basic doctrine of the Catholic Church. Chapter after chapter focuses on doctrinal "hot spots" including sola Scriptura, Tradition, papal infallibility, the seven sacraments, Mary and the saints, justification, salvation, and purgatory.
Here is a book that not only proves that the Catholic Faith is Biblical, but also that Catholicism is Bible Christianity par excellence. Here is a book that makes a thoughtful and welcome gift for a family member or friend who has questions about the Catholic Church.
