– Michael S. Rose, author of Goodbye, Good Men, Priest, and Ugly as Sin Customer reviews great overview  by .. C. Rogers (MO)
This is a fantastic book to give you an overview of Catholicism. I am not Catholic, but a lot of my in-laws are, and having sat through a lot of masses I was very curious to understand more. This book did the trick. Things are explained in a very clear way, and the authors never belittle other religions. The authors periodically went over the same material repeatedly, ie. sometimes the same facts were given in various chapters. I liked that, as it make it all sink in more. I'd recommend this book to anyone looking for a place to start to learn more.
As for why only 4 stars, consider these sentences, from page 109 talking about confirmation: "It's an unfortunate fact that after some are confirmed, they never come back for high school religious education. Human nature is such that some parental guidance, authority, and sometimes force are needed to get Johnny or Susie to fulfill their Sunday obligation." If that sounds a bit preachy, that's because, well, it is. But hey, the two authors are priests, and that's what they do. That kind of thing is kept to a minimum, but it is present.
Very useful!  by .. YasVO ()
I'm a big fan of the Dummies series, so when I want to learn about something, I tend to lean toward picking up one of their books (among others). I'm Catholic, but there have always been some things that escaped me, and this book was helpful in explaining many of those things, and more. I'd still recommend picking up one of those books that specifically cover Mass in detail if some of the customs and actions have befuddled you. Peace be with you...!
Catholicism For Dummies by .. G. Hahne (South Dakota)
My husband and I teach different ministries groups at our local Catholic Church and we use this book as a teaching source. It is very easy to understand especially for our elderly parishoners and teens. Alot of the parishoners have ordered this book for their own personal enrichment.
Catholocism for Dummies by .. C. Galeono ()
This book is very informative, and writen in an easy to read format. It has been a very long time since I've embarked on an in depth study of the Holy Roman Catholic faith I was blessed with at my infant baptism. I plan to pass it forward to others, like me, who wish to know more about their faith without needing a degreed theologan sitting down beside them. Thanks to the two good "Fathers" who wrote this book. It has been a real blessing to me.
Catholicism for Dummies by .. Jeffrey Boyea ()
Excellant book for anyone who is not a Catholic and "thinks" they know, oh so much, about Catholics and the heresies they think that they teach. It is also excellant for the Southern Baptists who view Catholics as non-christian (this is a prevalent view in the south).
It is also an excellant book for ALL Catholics for in it is a lot of information that they did not learn in catechism class.

Product Description The first Polish Pope, John Paul II, was a thinker and a leader whose religious convictions defined a new approach toward world politics—and changed the course of history. When he died on April 2, 2005, millions around the world mourned his passing. No other person in recent history has had such a tremendous display of respect and honor. The fact that so many non-Catholics honored this man attests to his effect on the world—and not just within his own religion. Now, you can get to know the man behind the papacy and appreciate his remarkable achievements. John Paul II For Dummies is a friendly, plain-English guide to the life and legacy of one of the world's most beloved religious leaders. You'll discover: - The Pope's influences
- His personal struggles
- How he impacted the Church
- His approach to world politics
- The ways he spread his message
Rev. John Trigilio Jr, PhD, and Rev. Kenneth Brighenti, PhD, explain the vision and perspective of the man known as the “people's pope.” You’ll come to know John Paul II's early influences and defining moments as well as his personal successes and tragedies. You'll trace his career from priesthood to bishop to the papacy as the authors reveal: - The effect he had on Vatican II
- How he defended and upheld church teaching and tradition
- The pivotal reforms he enacted
- His role in such important events as the fall of Communism and the Vatican/Israel negotiation
- John Paul's views on anti-Semitism, forgiveness, and the role of women in the Church
