I Like Being Catholic: Treasured Traditions, Rituals, and Stories Paperback - 2005
by Michael Leach; Therese J. Borchard
The authors bring together the memories, thoughts, and hopes of famous Catholics and just everyday folk, such as parishioners, lapsed Catholics, "good-enough" Catholics, and those who have devoted their lives to the faith. "I Like Being Catholic" work captures their abiding ties to and deep affection for the Church and offers wide-ranging views on the good things that come from being Catholic.
First line
In its best moments Catholicism is the happiest of the major world religions.
From the jacket flap
A celebration of the treasured traditions, rituals, and stories that run through the bloodstream of American Catholics
For Andrew Greeley, it is the reverence of Christmas night and the exultation of Easter morn. Martin Scorsese, like many others, remains grateful for the nuns who rapped his knuckles but built his self-esteem. Mary Gordon recalls the sense of lightness that follows confession; Vince Lombardi, the strength he derived from Mass; and Christopher Buckley, the role St. Thomas More plays in his writing. This is not a book of theology. It is about the beauty at the heart of Catholicism. It is about what Teilhard de Chardin called "the chosen part of things." It is about family and community, the value of Catholic education, the significance of sacraments and milestones, and the cultural impact of Catholicism--there are lists of the ten best Catholic novels, the ten best Catholic movies, ten Catholic heroes of the twentieth century, ten good reasons to raise your kids Catholic, fifty things Catholics like best about being Catholic, and much more ...
