Ask a Franciscan: Answers to Catholic Questions
"This author is no stranger to questions! Pat McCloskey, O.F.M., has fielded nearly six hundred questions in the past eleven years, in hisSt. Anthony Messenger'Ask the Wise Man' and 'Ask a Franciscan' columns. Wise in his own right, he draws as well on the expertise of theologians in liturgy, moral theology, Scripture and other fields. Rather than tackling all six hundred questions in this book, 97 frequently asked questions are addressed in eight chapters that cover: understanding God; relating to Mary and other saints; Scripture; the sacraments; prayer; morality; faith; and forgiveness and redemption."Though strongly based on scholarship, these thorough answers are conveyed in an easy-to-read and friendly style accessible to ordinary parishioners and even teenagers. This faith-building title is packed with information and highly recommended for parish, high school, and academic libraries, as well as for anyone involved with campus ministry or RCIA programs."—Frances O'Dell, O.S.F.,Catholic Library World
