Book Description

December 15, 1992
Using Scripture, history, and revelation, Father Lukefahr highlights the tenets of faith that form the heart of Catholic tradition. More than a catechism or an overview of the history and dogma of Church teaching...it is instead a unique pastoral presentation that not only explores how the Catholic sacramental view of the world is expressed in every aspect of Catholic life but also helps readers to know and love the Catholic Church better as they grow to appreciate the privilege of being Catholic. Great for parish programs, adult education, and study groups.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Privilege of Being Catholic, December 28, 1999
This review is from: The Privilege of Being Catholic (Paperback)
As an active Youth Minister for the Catholic Church I find Fr. Lukefahr's writing style easy to read and understand. I have used "The Priviledge of Being Catholic" extensively for preparing for R.C.I.A. classes and others that I teach. Also Oscar's book is easy to lend out to parents who have youth who ask tough questions that the parent's do not feel comfortable answering.

Oscar's use of the Sacramental Principle to explain alot of the Catholic teachings that Non-Catholics often attack, helps the non- theologian to practice good Apologetics. A workbook is also available that helps a teacher to use Ocsar's teachings in a classroom setting. I highly recommend "The Priviledge of Being Catholic" to any professional lay or religious minister in the Catholic Church and those who question the biblical basis of Catholic teaching and practices.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for both Catholics and non-Catholics, November 1, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Privilege of Being Catholic (Paperback)
This book is a great source for Catholics looking to enrich their faith and for non-Catholics who have questions or misconceptions about the Catholic faith. It really explains in such great clarity the richness of the Catholic faith and how the Sacrimental life is used to live the way that Jesus wants us to live as a part of his Church. This is a must have for any Catholic who is serious about living a Catholic life and for any non-Catholic who needs clear, objective answers to his/her questions. This book ranks up their with Karl Keating's "Catholicism and Fundamentalism."
