MAITLAND, FL— Timothy Wallace’s new book, The
Smoke of Satan in the Temple of God ($19.49, paperback, 978-1-62419-868-7; $30.49, hardcover,
978-1-62419-869-4; $9.99, e-book, 978-1-62419-870-0) targets the millions of Catholics in the U.S. born and catechized before
Vatican II and unaware of the true teaching of the Council. The author
continues, “[The book] is forthright in asserting that there are Catholics
whose practice of their faith does not differentiate them all that much from
those who are not Catholic.” Wallace builds up these individuals, motivating
them to be aware of the call to holiness in Christ.
The author expresses the reason behind his valid concern: “Many Catholics of the ‘baby-boom’ generation are alienated from the Church all together because their only exposure has been to a superficial, cultural Catholicism, impotent in the face of an American culture increasingly without faith.”
Timothy Wallace holds an M.A. in history and currently serves as chair of the social studies department at a suburban Catholic high school in the Archdiocese of Detroit, where he has taught American history and government since 1980. He is also a certified catechist in the Archdiocese, and has taught high school religion in three area high schools from 1978-2000. Wallace has participated in numerous St. John Bosco Catechetical Institute and “Defending the Faith” conferences at Franciscan University. He has also been the recipient of the University of Detroit Mercy’s “Outstanding High School Teacher Award” (1998), and the University of Chicago’s “Outstanding High School Teacher Award” (2000).
