Summary: BE AWARE that this is not "The Pilgrim Church"
Comment: The author "WJ Bausch" attempts to exemplify the catholic church as the cornerstone of christianity and how it has adjusted over time to become better in his revised book "Pilgram Church". In contrast to "The Pilgram Church" written by EH Broadbent who researches the so called heretics of the church as defined by the Catholic documents. He explains that some of those so called heretics were followers of Christ who opposed the Catholic regulations put upon them and desired to follow the scriptures instead. EH Broadbent convincently documents the reminent of true followers of biblical scriptures behind the Catholic dictatorship and describes how God has maintained His church. Please be aware of the title of the books because you can be misinformed. As the review of "Paris Templin" shows (Its a review of "The Pilgrim Church" not "Pilgrim Church". In short "Pilgrim Church" does not even come close to depth of "The Pilgrim Church"

Summary: A misplaced review
Comment: A note to review readers -- the last of the reviews given below, written by Paris Templin, is NOT a review of William Bausch's "Pilgrim Church." Mr. Templin's review is of a different book by E. H. Broadbent which shares the same title.

Summary: A blend of truth and error.
Comment: William Bausch colors his protrayal of church history with truth and error. One example of error is that he contends that there is "absolutely no proof" that the apostles appointed individual men to succeed them. The problem is the New Testament and many early church documents say otherwise. Apostolic Succession is considered to be one of the four pillars of the church. It has sound undisputable evidence in reality. For Bausch however, it is an abstract idea instead of an absolute truth in the Catholic Church. His bibleography is overwhelmingly limited to post-vatican II contemporary authors, rather than relying more heavily on historical documents to write his history. He ignores basic logical formulation to advance arguments for or against many conclusions he makes. He seems to be more interested in diluting or dumbing down the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church than advancing sound re-telling of the real Catholic Chrisitan history. It is a difficult read to sort out for anyone that already has a working knowledge of the subject. It is just dangerous to those who don't.
