Opis

This book begins with a description of what it was like to grow up Catholic in the middle part of the 20th century. It then follows the author's journey as a teacher in Catholic Education and describes the different way that modern Catholic children are being educated. It traces her growth into a personal spirituality, which leads her to question many of the Catholic Church's teachings, especially those to do with sexual and reproductive matters. Finally, it asks Catholic women to take on the responsibility of changing the Catholic Church themselves. It is a nostalgic, educational, stimulating and challenging read by a wife, a mother, a teacher and somebody who has thought deeply about spirituality.
