Book Review: "Catholicism Is For Dummies? What? Did A Lutheran Write This?"
Summary: 5 Stars
My words up there refer to an incident in a store, when my mom saw this book out of the corner of her eye and misread the title. Her innocent little outrage that such a scathing attack on her religion might've come from aggressive Lutherans left me laughing for minutes.
But I digress.
It's like this, folks, the Dummies series is great. Not a bad one in the lot. If you ever wanted to know anything---anything at all---about the world's largest religion, you'll probably find it in this book. From Creation to Resurrection, Purgatory to Judgment Day, rosary beads to votive candles, from miracles to stigmata, you can read about it all to your curious heart's content. From to dean to deacon to priest, Bishop, Archbishop, Cardinal, and Pope, monk, nun, religious brother, and religious sister, Holy Days, holidays, Days of Obligation, Pentecost, Advent, Lent, Ordinary Time, Vaticans I and II, ordinations, consecrations, canonizations, beatifications, ashes on Ash Wednesday, candy on Easter, the blessing of the throats on the Day of St. Blase, Fat Tuesday revels, funeral rites, baptismal rites, All Souls and All Saints, virgins and martyrs, to why weddings are sacramental events, from Feast Days to Fast Days, Anointing of the Sick, Papal infallibility (betcha it's not what you thought it was), Confession, Absolution, choir practice, and saving pagan babies in darkest Africa, nothing is left out but the secret Catholic handshake. Yep, all that and more right here is in this innocent little book with the cheery yellow cover. Impeccably researched, fluidly written, imminently educational, it's worth every cent you spent on it instead of tossing into the offering basket.
Reading this took me back to theology classes in school. I think now I'll go take a long walk outside...
