What does it mean to be—or to have been raised—Catholic in America today, now that formally nonpracticing Catholics outnumber the memberships of any other single denomination? Catholic Lives, Contemporary America is a collection of informed and spirited essays focusing on Catholic lay practices not commonly recognized or, at times, officially sanctioned. For the formidable array of scholars and writers gathered here, being Catholic is not simply a matter of going to confession or attending Mass, and Catholicism’s contributions to American cultural identity remain open to question.
Edited and with an introduction by Thomas J. Ferraro, Catholic Lives, Contemporary America offers a banquet of essays and interviews, at once subtle and accessible, treating American Catholic lives and legacies with compassion and flair.

Review:
Catholic Lives, Contemporary America is a collection of essays about Catholic lay experiences that are not officially recognized or sanctioned by the Church (such as street festivals, Madonna's dance music, and gay love). Contributors to this anthology are, almost without exception, working hard to figure out how they fit in the Christian story, and many of the essays--especially the contributions by Andrew Sullivan, Camille Paglia, Richard Rodriguez, and Patrick Allitt--are written in sweat, blood, and joy. --Michael Joseph Gross
From the Back Cover:
"This collection informs, entertains, and challenges--with no apparent ideological axe to grind. "Catholic Lives, Contemporary America" is lively reading for those looking for a deeper take on the recent Catholic past and present."--James W. Arnold, "St. Anthony Messenger"
