4.0 out of 5 stars I'm not RC anymore, but...., November 22, 2002

This review is from: The great mysteries: An essential catechism (Loose Leaf)

...for RC's or persons converting thereto, you can't do much better than this! I sure didn't leave the Catholic Church because of Greeley; in fact, he helped bring me back to the 5 Ancient Patriarchates, from sectarian Protestantism. I've just found the Orthodox Church to be 'more Catholic than the Pope,' even 'more Irish than Mayor Daley'...or Father Coughlin at least![.]

In any case, Greeley's presentation is more (w)holistic than just about anybody's on Roman Catholicism. Some of his doctrinal "revisionism" is downright profound, and not necessarily what you'll find in the Universal Catechism, but not necessarily in conflict with it either. Certainly more readable and friendly!
