Items related to Why I am Still a Catholic
What does it mean to be a Catholic in the modern world? A prominent Catholic author and journalist invites thirteen diverse contributors, many high-profile, to reveal why the Catholic Church still matters in a secular and sceptical age. Contributors include: Anne Maguire, Dermot O'Leary, Cristina Odone, Bruce Kent, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Edward Stourton, Patricia Scotland, Mel Giedroyc, Cherie Booth, Shaun Edwards, Neil Scolding, IM Birtwistle, Charlie Brown. What does it mean to be a Catholic in today's world? If you are not eating fish on Fridays and having strings of children, then what distinguishes the modern Catholic from anyone else? At a time when the Vatican provokes hostility by its opposition to contraception, abortion and the use of condoms in fighting AIDS, how many Catholics share its views? And if they don't, how can they in good conscience stay in the Church? These are among the many questions that writer and broadcaster Peter Stanford has addressed to some of Britain's best-known Catholics. In this entertaining and enlightening collection of short essays, each has come up with a very different reply.

Review:
'There are levels of Roman Catholicism that are so cultural that you have to be born into them to recognise them. They are beautifully and unselfconsciously described here, with all their strengths and weaknesses.' Lavinia Byrne, Church Times 'There is an unmissable feeling in many of the essays that beyond the rules and regulations, there lies at the heart of Catholicism something so much more important.' Irish Independent Author article featured--The Independent 'Fascinating...a surprisingly uplifting book.' Damian Thompson, Sunday Telegraph 'This book is really rather edifying.' Melanie McDonagh, Tablet 'A hard-hitting book which criticises as much as it praises... it should be read by anyone interested in the phenomenon of organised religion.' Lady Antonia Fraser, Spectator Author article featured--, Author article featured--Sanford Lakoff
