The Vatican. The Inquisition. Contraception. Celibacy. Apparitions
and miracles. Plots and scandals. The Catholic Church is seldom out
of the news. But what do its one billion adherents really believe,
and how do they put their beliefs into practice in worship, the
family, and society? This down-to-earth account goes back to the
early Christian creeds to uncover the roots of modern Catholic
thinking. It avoids getting bogged down in theological
technicalities, and throws light on aspects of the Church's
institutional structure and liturgical practice that even Catholics
can find baffling: why go to confession? How are people made
saints? What is 'infallible' about the Pope? Topics addressed
include: * scripture and tradition * sacraments and prayer *
popular piety * personal and social morality * reform, mission, and
interreligious dialogue Lawrence Cunningham, a theologian,
prize-winning writer and university teacher, provides an overview
of Catholicism today which will be indispensable for undergraduates
and lay study groups.
