Title: Shoddy Research!
Product review: The Recovering Catholic would more properly be titled, The Recovering Christian, as many of the reasons for leaving the Catholic Church as given by the women who responded to the author's questionnaire were reasons common to the teachings common to all Christian denominations. In addition, many of the reasons given had to do with disagreeing with doctrines which the respondents believed to be "Catholic" but which were, in fact, neither doctrines nor dogmas embraced and/or taught in Catholicism at all! Far too many sentences within this shoddily researched book began with phrases such as "It is well known that..." However, the author provided not a shred of evidence to support those openers.Steer clear of this if you are indeed in recovery...from anything!
