- Summary:
- Organized around Catholicism's most important rituals and symbols: the Mass, the Seven Sacraments, and the holy days of the church year, here is a stunning portrait of Catholicism as lived and celebrated by Catholics today. From the joyous baptism of an infant to the somber bedside of a dying woman, Inside Catholicism traces the human cycle within the yearly cycle of the Church. The full dimensions of these Christian rituals are explained in photos and text, along with the many other religious traditions that have been woven into the multi-hued fabric of the Catholic faith, the folk tales, the visionary experiences, and the local customs, from Slovakia to Guadalupe, that have, since its beginnings, brought Catholicism into the daily lives of its faithful.
