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.
