One of the disturbing trends of the internet is the concept of "overshare." Here, for example, we learn of a multi-generational love for baseball and bad haircuts (despite the best efforts of the hats). Either way, I am very much enjoying this book.
Ever play "telephone" with 5 people? Notice how the message gets garbled? With 2000 years of human history between Jesus founding the Church to today, a lot of misconceptions and misinformation gets disseminated. Avoid all the confusion of "what the Church believes and teaches" ... go straight to the source.
