Millions of Americans were raised in the Catholic Church. While some aspects of this experience may have been positive, all too often the legacy also included guilt, shame, perfectionism, cynicism, self-doubt. It has been popular to take a lighthearted look at the struggles of recovering Catholics. But humor doesn't tell the whole story. Here for the first time is a book that goes beyond casual party chat: a book that takes an in-depth look at the psychological and emotional impact of having been raised Catholic. Immaculate Misconceptions is a healing book for former Catholics who have no intention of eturning to the Church, but who nevertheless continue to be affected by the rigidity of their Catholic upbringing. This book takes a candid, honest, look at the experiences, thoughts and feelings of many former Catholics. It offers numerous ways of working creatively with these issues, as a means of moving into greater self-understanding and awareness.

This self-help guide for former Catholics tells of the realities of recovering from the psychological and emotional impact of having been raised Catholic in an atmosphere of guilt, shame, and self-doubt. Former Catholics who have no intention of returning to the Church but who remain affected by its rigidity will appreciate this unusual discussion. -- Midwest Book Review
