Leonardo DiCurico highlights the blind spot that evangelicals have when it comes to engaging with Roman Catholicism. He emphasizes the need for evangelicals to recognize the theological, missiological, and practical challenges involved in reaching out to Catholics. DiCurico describes Roman Catholicism as a carefully crafted theological and devotional system that shapes entire cultures. He argues that the system is more akin to the false gospel depicted in Galatians 1, which adds to the gospel rather than the true gospel portrayed in Philippians 1. He acknowledges that while there are individual Catholics who are genuine believers in Christ, their faith is often in spite of, not because of, Catholic teaching. DiCurico urges evangelicals to approach Roman Catholicism in its own terms and engage with it responsibly in order to effectively share the biblical gospel.
