I finally finished Introduction to Catholicism from the Didache Series tonight, which I’ll post a more full note on later. Thanks to the convenient coincident timing of my birthday I had a gift certificate to spend so I picked up C.S. Lewis’ classic The Screwtape Letters
and Butler’s Lives of the Saints
(yes, I avoided the one from Richard McBrien if only on principal). These are a pair of staples in the library of any serious Catholic, and I feel like I’ve patched a major hole in mine that has festered far too long. Such are the trials of being a convert – you start so many years behind those blessed to be Catholics their whole lives.
