"[A] celebration of what is beautiful and lasting in the Catholic tradition . . . a kiss of peace to [all] Catholics, whether liberal, conservative, or confused." —Michael Leach, co-editor of I Like Being Catholic What makes a Catholic a Catholic? According to Thomas Groome, a professor in theology and religious education at Boston College, Catholics share certain vital features of life and identity. What Makes Us Catholic explains and illuminates that character, and invites Catholics of all kinds to connect more deeply and imaginatively with their own culture and spirituality. "Eloquently contends that all Catholics be they faithful adherents or lapsed members share eight distinctive qualities . . . To each Groome dedicates a skillfully written chapter, which opens with an anecdote from his own experience that concretizes its theological subject. Readers will find themselves pausing and engaging in the text with questions for reflection and conversation . . . Groome [keeps] complex religious jargon to a minimum, allowing his simple stories to resonate in the heart." —Library Journal "Grounded in the actual experiences of people, [this book] portrays Catholicism as a rich, multi-faceted reality that cannot be contained by any single doctrine or institutional element." —Richard P. McBrien, author of Lives of the Saints
