First published 1989
Richard Rohr and Joseph Martos tackle the central question of Catholic identity in modern America. They present a balanced examination that celebrates the strengths of Catholicism while acknowledging the Church's failures with unflinching honesty. The authors explore what Catholic faith means for believers living in the United States today. They offer personal portraits of remarkable Catholics, particularly saints, who discovered deep fulfillment through complete commitment to their beliefs. Rohr and Martos show how the Church's rich heritage continues to shape Catholic lives while the institution adapts to contemporary challenges. The book serves as a resource for those exploring Catholic faith and those seeking to understand their existing beliefs more deeply.
