5.0 out of 5 stars
great read,
This review is from: Why Catholics Don't Give: And What Can Be Done about It (Hardcover)
A stunning work. I couldn't put it down. Gripping yet oddly soothing. I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me. A epic work rivaling the likes of the Great Gatsby. A nail bitting page turner. Buy this book.

This review is from: Why Catholic Don't Give... and What Can Be Done about It (Hardcover)
Just another excuse to proliferate a bunch of lies and misinformation about the Catholic Church and Catholics, in general.
