Resumen del Editor

Richard Rohr ddresses one of the most vital questions for new and lifelong Catholics. He draws on his own prayer, study and preaching experiences throughout the world to ask "What is good about being Catholic?" This series invites listeners to explore the breadth and depth of their faith. "Most Catholics are not Catholic/catholic enough," says Rohr. He discusses both the shortcomings and strengths of the Catholic Christian tradition.

Talks include: "The Catholic World View"; "The Shadow Side of Catholicism"; "Living as a Catholic in the United States Today"; "Our Heroes and Heroines". Each talk is followed by a penetrating question-and-answer session.

Awesome insight

Interesting how the church still struggles with this 30 years later. Something all Catholics should read so we can see how to entice newer generations to join and regenerate as God planned it. And allow God's will into the church not creating laws and environment to control it.

A Must for Catholic School Products

Father Rohr heads the nail on the head of Catholic teachings in the past in a succinct manner and accurately. This conference helps me understand my outlook and life’s choices regarding

Better than I expected

I thought this was going to be a nice analytical view on Catholic values and ideas but it is much more. I think every Catholic needs to listen to these lectures which are quite easy to listen to and discuss afterward as although the ideas are a little 'high brow' it is just enough for you to grasps and open a discussion. Not that this will make me religious or even believe in a supreme being but it is interesting to try and understand religion and in this case religion from the inside.

This is over 33 years old?!

What Fr Rohr speaks of is more pertinent today than ever! How do we define who we are as a Church as as a Holy people? Who do we turn to for examples? I was so moved by his words and am astonished at how needed those lessons are to help guide us in ministry today. I highly recommend this book!

Great content, inaudible Q&A

Fr Rohr has great insights and challenges my thinking on what it means to be Catholic.
I was disappointed that the questions posed by the audience were largely inaudible.

Hard time finishing

I am not someone who is opposed to Fr. Richard Rohr's approach to Catholicism, but I did have a hard time finishing this. Somehow seemed a bit dated? Not sure. I am glad it resonated for others.

Good Lecture

This was a good recording of a lecture series that Rohr did back in 1985. It’s over 20 years old and many of the problems he talks about are still here. Most of what he shares is pretty timeless. The only real complaint I have is that during the Q&A part at the end of each lecture it is nearly impossible to hear what the audience is asking. He often summarizes the question before answering, but not always.

Father Rohr pulled back the curtain for me

If yo< are ticked off and disappointed with The Church......listen to Father Rohr. He has much to say worth hearing.

Food for Thought for Every Catholic

I really enjoyed listening to these conversational talks by Father Richard Rohr. Although they were recorded a while ago, the messages are still very much applicable to today. EVERY Catholic, especially modern Americans (he speaks in Ohio, so he sometimes references the American experience), should listen to these talks. Rohr's cadence of speech reminds me of Dr. Randy Pausch, which is a high compliment since I have listened to his Last Lecture multiple times. Rohr's talks definitely get you thinking about who you are as a Catholic and who you were meant to be.

Very thought provoking & inspiring series of talks

Very thought provoking & inspiring series of talks! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this presentation and will probably listen to it again in the near future. I loved the exploration of the Saints and has even started reading up on some of them to educate myself better.
