Product Review
The authors of Growing Up Catholic have fully 17 names among them. Here goes: Mary Jane Frances Cavolina Meara, Jeffrey Allen Joseph Stone, Maureen Anne Teresa Kelly, and Richard Glen Michael Davis. If this merits a smirk, you'll love Growing Up Catholic. First published in 1985, this classic collection of essays, games, lists, quizzes, drawings, and photographs inspired two sequels (More Growing Up Catholic and Still Catholic After All These Years) and has now been updated for the millennium. ("After all, let's not forget where this whole millennium thing came from," the Introduction explains.) The many new features of this edition include "Que Sera, Sera: Who Will Be the Next Pope?" and "Ansubstantiation-tray: Can't Anybody Here Speak Latin?" Growing Up Catholic is bubbly but never blasphemous--just irreverent enough to be interesting, but not so irreverent as to be an inappropriate confirmation gift. --Paul Power --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Growing up Catholic (Paperback) If you're a baby-boomer who went to Catholic school, you'll love the humor and nostalgia in Growing up Catholic. I laughed until I cried and then yearned for the good old days when all you had to do to get through the day, the week, the schoolyear was obey the rules and listen for the sound of Sister's clicker. I first read this book a few years ago - a copy that I had borrowed from my sister. This year I ordered one for myself, and this Christmas, I'm giving a copy to several friends.
