A personal examination of the Catholic faith, its leaders, and its complicated history by a National Book Award–winning, New York Times-bestselling author. James Carroll turns to the notion of practice—both as a way to learn and a means of improvement—as a lens for this thoughtful and frank look at what it means to be Catholic. He acknowledges the slow and steady transformation of the Church from its darker medieval roots to a more pluralist and inclusive institution, charting along the way stories of powerful Catholic leaders (Pope John XXIII, Thomas Merton, John F. Kennedy) and historical milestones like Vatican II. These individuals and events represent progress for Carroll, a former priest, and as he considers the new meaning of belief in a world that is increasingly as secular as it is fundamentalist, he shows why the world needs a Church that is committed to faith and renewal. “Carroll, a former Catholic priest who wrote of his conflict with his father over the Vietnam War in An American Requiem, revisits and expands on that tension in this spiritual memoir infused with church history . . . Readers who, like Carroll, remain Catholic but wrestle with their church’s positions on moral issues will most appreciate his story.” —Publishers Weekly “Thought-provoking.” —San Francisco Chronicle “[An] engrossing faith memoir . . . a page-turner.” —Kirkus Reviews

"To be a practicing Catholic means more than just being a member of the Church. Most fundamentally, it means giving external expression to our faith". So writes Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk in this sequel to his best-selling Thinking Catholic (St. Anthony Messenger Press). "Being Catholic involves certain specific religious behaviors, certain religious practices which arise from Catholic faith and tradition and which, taken together, constitute a way of being religious in a truly Catholic fashion, a way of being members of the Church who are deliberately and consciously in touch with God in the context of the Church. These are all essential components of professing Catholicism". In Practicing Catholic Archbishop Pilarczyk reflects on those behaviors which express our faith and our membership in the Church, that strengthen them and that proclaim them to others: -- going to Mass on Sunday (and Holy Days) -- visiting the Blessed Sacrament -- doing penance and exercising self-control -- raising children Catholic -- offering it up -- being in touch with Mary and the saints -- receiving the Sacraments -- praying -- getting married in the Church -- being an active member of a parish -- being willing to be different -- dying Catholic

Many Catholics today feel that the Church and its leaders are out of touch with the real world. Issues such as annulment, birth control, ordination for women, celibacy for priests, and homosexuality have divided and marginalized many of the faithful. With subsequent numbers of lapsed Catholics on the rise and the American clergy aging with fewer priests to take their place. Catholic scholar and teacher Penny Ryan is justly concerned with the future of Catholicism. Citing many historical precedents that have shaped the Church's teachings over the centuries, Ryan calls for a reexamination of what it means to be Catholic in the modern world. She brings attention to the plight of devoted Catholic women who feel called to the priesthood but are denied access, to couples compelled to turn to more reliable birth control methods than those allowed by the Church, and to gay Catholics struggling to reconcile their personal and spiritual lives with current official Church teachings.

In The Heart of Catholicism, Bert Ghezzi, bestselling author and popular speaker, invites readers into his deep love for the Church. With great warmth and authenticity, he shows how foundational habits such as praying, studying scripture, serving others, celebrating sacraments, and learning from the saints remind us who we are as followers of Christ. In this completely revised and expanded version of Being Catholic Today: Practicing the Everyday Habits That Shape Us, Bert Ghezzi brings together his love for the Church and his teaching expertise in this practical introduction to the way Catholics live. Ghezzi uses stories from his own life to show how Catholicism is contagious, spreading from person to person because of the things Catholics do that are distinctively Catholic. Essential practices such as praying daily, celebrating the sacraments, reading and applying scripture, honoring the saints, confessing and overcoming sin, participating in parish life, caring for the poor, and evangelizing are treated in seventeen brief and inspiring chapters.
