Why Be Catholic? by Patrick Madrid

Why Be Catholic? by Patrick Madrid

The popular blogger and publisher of Envoy magazine offers 10 key reasons why he loves being Catholic (and you should too). Drawing heavily on poignant anecdotes from his own experience as a life-long Catholic born in 1960s, Madrid offers readers a way of looking at the Church--its members, teachings, customs, and history--from perspectives many may have never considered.

Growing up Catholic during a time of great social and theological upheaval and transition, a time in which countless Catholics abandoned their religion in search of something else, Patrick Madrid learned a great deal about why people leave Catholicism and why others stay. This experience helped him gain many insights into what it is about the Catholic Church that some people reject, as well as those things that others treasure. Drawing upon Madrid's personal experiences, Why Be Catholic? offers a deeply personal, fact-based, rationale for why everyone should be Catholic or at least consider the Catholic Church in a new light.

Patrick Madrid is a best-selling Catholic author who has written over eighteen books. Does the Bible Actually Say That? is one of them. Francis de Sales was a priest who lived in the 12th century. He is the host of the popular radio show Right Here, Right Now, which airs daily on the EWTN Catholic radio network and on Sirius Satellite radio. Patrick and his wife, Nancy, live in Granville, Ohio, and have eleven children and (so far) twelve grandkids.
