What does it mean to be Catholic today?
Newly updated and revised.
How can the Catholic Church be both hugely popular and widely scorned? How can it hold onto its ancient roots and be forever changing? This updated guide tells the story of being Catholic as Catholics themselves live their faith, every day of their lives. More than ever before, this edition speaks to interested outsiders, non-clergy, and practicing Catholics, as well as to religious professionals and members of the clergy.
This book explores:
? The various stances within American Catholicism today
? Recent Catholic history, most notably, the death of John Paul II and the succession of Pope Benedict XVI
? The seven sacraments
? The present state of Catholic education, Catholic identity, and Catholic social teaching
Mary Faulkner holds a Masters degree in religious education, is the director of the Institute of Integrated Healing Arts in Nashville, and is a psychotherapist in private practice.

Better than the Baltimore Catechism!
I am the librarian for our local Catholic Church and this book is really a very good place to start for individuals who are interested or curious about Catholicism. It is written in plan language, with good explanations that are enlightening even to us "Cradle Catholics." I purchased this copy for my niece who is not a Catholic, but will be attending a Catholic College this fall. I think that this is a pretty painless way to get her up to speed without freaking her out.
