From the Publisher
Catholics span the spectrum of the faith from the devout
to the lapsed but share certain essential features of
life and identity, according to Thomas Groome, an
expert on the essential ingredients of
Catholic Christianity. Even the millions of nonpracticing
Catholics possess a distinctive sensibility that
forever shapes their view of reality. What
Makes Us Catholic probes that character and invites Catholics
of all kinds to connect more deeply and imaginatively
with their own culture and spirituality.
