I had gotten the impression from what you said that you were Googling like mad.

Is there a book that spells out all the Traditions and explains them, such as a catechism of some sort?

Best one-stop shopping is, probably, The Catechism of the Catholic Church. (It's on-line at the USCCB website and the Vatican website--I'd give you the links but I don't know how to... pathetic, I know, by students never stop micking me for that.) Its organization isn't quite as sane as might be desired, but it's pretty good.
If you get a chance to look at it I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I like talking about this stuff with Lutherans--you guys are always so reasonable. (My first patristics prof. years ago was a Lutheran... Man I learned a lot about Catholicism from him!) And you just have to love Luther's scatalogical humor. Liguori, all due respect, never thought of being as funny and off-color while at the same time discussing the most sublime subjects...

It took the wiles of a mere woman to tempt Adam. Maybe a quick lesson by this mere woman can teach you how. I have to go to bed now though. Pencil me in on your calendar for the near future.

My dad was a Lutheran pastor from a long line of pastors, I'm full-blooded German and (was) a Lutheran teacher (librarian now). Oh, and I share a birthday (different year) with Luther.
Humor and religion go nicely arm in arm. Guten nacht. Schlaf gut.

Done. And I've lived long enough to fear the phrase "mere woman".

Never! They'll hit some keys and walk away laughing. The next thing I know, the FBI will be confiscating my computers and reading me my rights. I don't trust anybody between the ages of 18 and 24.

I'm older than dirt. We could do it secretly and surprise everyone. I'll even teach you basic HTML.
