The book explores the tension between humanitarian ideology and core Christian dogmas, particularly in the wake of the Second Vatican Council. The author expresses concern over theologians and Church members questioning essential tenets of faith under the guise of love for humanity. This critique is rooted in the author's dismay at the erosion of traditional beliefs, which he argues has been exacerbated by a two-century trend towards humanitarianism that threatens the integrity of the Christian Creed.
