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

    Thanks, but I dug through my extensive library and found my copy. I'm dusting it off as we speak.

    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...

    Wonderful! The type is a lot bigger than my old paperback. Thanks! Now if you'll address the topic in its thread, we can go ahead here with this discussion.

    Many thanks. I have no idea what happened to my copy. (I most likely lent it to a crazy Marian who didn't have the common decency to return it!)

    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.

    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.
