Publisher Description: Why do Catholics do what they do? This helpful book gets to the heart of the question--and to the heart of what it really means to be Catholic. It is said that practice makes perfect, but what else does practice make? If you ask Joe Paprocki, author of the best-selling The Catechist's Toolbox, he'll say that practice makes Catholic--that is, there are certain distinct practices that make us essentially Catholic. The problem is that too many Catholics don't understand--or misunderstand--why we engage in the many practices we do; as a result, there's no heart in their actions, and they fail to make the critical connection between the faith they once learned and the faith they now live. |
