"Unlike any other book I have ever read . . . As one reads it one's own experience of being Catholic is constantly being challenged and enlarged. . . . the book has to be read and meditated in its entirety. Indeed it may be hazardous to your health because you may stay up all night following the author's train of thought through the ebb and flow of her conversation. . . ." (Monica Hellwig in America) "The insights in The Catholic Thing go off like firecrackers. . . . I didn't realize until I got to the end that I'd been reading theology." (Judge Joseph Summers in National Catholic Reporter)
