response to shaky

I have the book and did not find the word "removed." I did find on page 79 "One of the so-called errors of the Western Church was the addition of the words 'and from the Son' (Filioque in Latin)..." Rev. Lovasik says the Council of Canstantinole(381) left the matter opened and the Eastern Church preferred "through" not "from" the Son. I hope Shaky will give the page for the "removed" comment and give the book a second chance.

Well-organized history

The prolific Fr. Lovasik has written a readable, well-organized history of the Church. He covers all the major eras and gives due attention to neglected periods such as late antiquity and the early middle ages. I especially liked his treatment of "new barbarians" like the Scandanavian peoples and their conversion. The book is ideal for junior high to high school age students, though adults would benefit from reading it too.
