Synopsis

Here are beautiful, simple, profound ideas that few people think about these days when they talk about the Catholic Church. Yet they are truths that make a positive difference in peoples' lives. They include:

Catholicism is a community that remembers Jesus
Catholics draw on a rich tradition of spirituality
They always have something to celebrate
The church is a family
It has splendid heroes and heroines
It takes staunch stands on peace and justice
It has universality

At a time when many Catholics have grown frustrated with their church, The Best of Being Catholic reminds them of the positive values and practices that they will never read about in the daily news.
