When Growing Up Catholic was first published in the 1980s, it
quickly became nothing less than a publishing phenomenon. Together
with its sequels, More Growing Up Catholic and Still Catholic After
All These Years, it struck a responsive chord with nearly a million
Catholic book buyers of all persuasions -- and has remained
continuously in print for 14 years. Now, in the midst of the 2000th
birthday of the Catholic Church, comes an updated and expanded
version. Filled with a witty, poignant, and downright hilarious
potpourri of essays, lists, games, drawings, photos, and quizzes,
it includes the best of all three Growing Up Catholic books, along
with all-new features such as "Que Sera, Sera: Who Will Be the Next
Pope?"; "Sister Doesn't Live Here Anymore, or, Will the Last Nun
Leaving the Convent Please Blow Out the Scented Candles?"; "All My
Wayward Children: Scenes from a Catholic Soap Opera";
"Ansubstantiation-tray: Can't Anybody Here Speak Latin?"; "What's
It All About, John Paul?: The Church After 2000 Years"; and much,
much more.
A welcome alternative to the flood of worthy books on the
meaning of the new millennium, Growing Up Catholic celebrates in a
lighthearted way the funny and sublime side of day-to-day Catholic
life that most of America's 55 million Catholics remember and
cherish.
