Karl Keating (born 1950) is aCatholicapologist and author who founded and presided overCatholic Answers, a lay apostolate of Catholic apologetics and evangelization.[1]
Keating's bookCatholicism and Fundamentalism was based on a 1988 series that ran for 30 weeks inThe Wanderer.
In August 1986, the firstCatholic Answers Newsletter was published. In January 1990,Catholic Answers published the monthly magazineThis Rock. For nine years, Keating served as the editor.
In 1988, Keating changed careers and went into apologetics full-time. He has been a columnist forThe Wanderer, theNational Catholic Register and theCanadian Catholic Review. He has also acted as expert onEWTN's Questions and Answers forum.
A 2004 complaint to theInternal Revenue Service by thepro-choice organizationCatholics for a Free Choice led to an IRS investigation of Catholic Answers that Keating described as costly and onerous. As a result, he formed a new organization with a separate501(c)(4) tax status, called Catholic Answers Action, that continued publishing hisVoter's Guide for Serious Catholics.[2] This instructs readers not to vote for candidates who would vote for legalization of any of five alleged "non-negotiable" issues (abortion,euthanasia,embryonic stem cell research,human cloning, andgay marriage).
