The Catholic Undertow : A Manual for Former Catholics

Summary: One Person's Cup of Tea is Another's .....
Review: This is another book by an ex-Roman Catholic who feels it her duty to preach the Gospel to Roman Catholics, like they have never heard it. The author claims to have been a novice Sister, and absolutely refuses to identify the Religious Community of which she was a former member---so this is already suspect as far as I am concerned. Could it be she was considered intractable and was thrown out of this unnamed Community, and now has a "beef" with the entire Roman Church? At any rate, the book is well researched, and typically expounds the usual Fundamentalist attitudes towards the Roman Church. If one is a raging anti-Catholic, you will find all of your stereotypes met, and can say to yourself, "I knew it all along." For Roman Catholics, it may cause you to think and do some research on your own beliefs, and that of your Church. If it does that much, perhaps the book has acheived its purpose.
