How to Survive Being Married to a Catholic
A frank and honest guide to Catholic attitudes, beliefs and practices
by Michael Henesy & Rosemary Gallagher
GoodBookStall Review:
First published 1986 this is ‘A frank and honest guide to Catholic attitudes, beliefs and practices.’ Although this book has a serious purpose – to inform the non-Catholic partner in a mixed marriage about what their spouse believes – it is considerably brought to life by means of drawings and cartoons. The approach is direct and often light-hearted as the core doctrines of the Catholic Church are explained sympathetically. Of particular relevance are the chapters dealing with sex, family planning and family life. Catholics also will find these chapters illuminating. Indeed, the whole book will be of interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
