ME TOO. What about the one called "Stalking the Divine?"

Oh yeah....I almost forgot.

I read that book. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't really good either. It's written by a secular agnostic who finds herself spending a lot of time with a group of cloistered nuns. I read it a few years ago and there wasn't anything offensive in it, but didn't have a lot of spiritual content. The end point as I remember is that she likes going to Mass but doesn't want to become Catholic, and she's okay with spending lots of time with the nuns because they're nice people and she still is trying to understand the whole religion thing.

Ok....end of sidetrack!

Sounds like yet another one of my own failing to do their job--tell the truth in its ENTIRETY. Her investigation is journalistic, sure, but she should have known better. The majority of the book is only one side. If she was going to talk about liberal communities, she should have covered moderates and traditionals, actives and comtemplatives...

Bah humbug.

I couldn't even finish this horrible book. Unfortunately, I think my mom might have enjoyed some of it. She's a combonation of liberal and conservative in terms of the faith, but it's because she went through bad catechesis.
