Book Club at Rhonda's

We had book club at Rhonda's on Thursday night -- Rhonda always has the best wine. This week she served an array of delicacies. We discussed Why I am a Catholic by Garry Wills. I'm too busy and not interested enough to write much about it (it's way after the fact; I've just been too busy!) -- but I must say the book did generate some interesting discussion about religion and some of our personal beliefs. It was a very good bookclub meeting. I originally got the book because I was struggling with the hierarchy and decision-making in the Roman Catholic church and with the egos at my own local church. But I let it sit on my shelf for a long time. Then Linda was asking about the Catholic church when her granddaughter was being baptized. So I mentioned this book and agreed to do the discussion guide. I got kudos for the guide. I'll plug it in later if I remember. It did get me thinking and a little more educated about the papacy. Can't say I'd enthusiastically recommend, but I'm happy I read it.
