Why Be Catholic?

In "Why Be Catholic?", renowned spiritual teachers Richard Rohr and Joseph Martos delve into the complexities of Catholic identity amidst contemporary cultural shifts. They explore the strengths of Catholicism—such as its sacramental imagination and commitment to social transformation—while also candidly addressing its institutional failures. Rejecting both nostalgia and dismissal, the authors present Catholicism as a living tradition that invites personal responsibility and reform, encouraging readers to engage deeply with their faith and pursue the transformative path to holiness.
