About
The Book
“Code Dahmer, register seven.”
One minute, the cashier compliments
you on your necklace, and the next thing you know, store security drags you out
the door. All because you proudly confided to her that your necklace contained
a bone chip from a man tortured and murdered centuries ago. Well…Jeffry Dahmer
DID tell police the same thing.
Okay, this didn’t happen, but it’s
exactly how Cradle Catholic Danielle Schaaf feels when she describes her
religious upbringing. Even though there are a billion Catholics in the world,
many of their tenets and traditions remain a mystery—even to themselves.
Questions abound, and some, like, “Why is there dirt on your forehead?” are
easy enough for Schaaf to explain. “They’re ashes. No, not Uncle Sal’s.”
When questions get tough and test
Schaaf’s theological mettle, like “Do nuns go commando under their habits?” she
turns to the pros: nuns themselves. These days, nuns are harder to locate than
gluten-free donuts. All anyone can say is, “Witness Protection Program.” Not
being able to find any sisters, Schaaf instead created her own, truncated
version of Catholic Catechism. Why not? She’s often mistaken for a nun and
never misses a rerun of The Flying Nun.
Snarky humor, warped nostalgia, and reverently irreverent musings
grace the pages of Holy Bones, Limbo, and Jesus in My Cheetos. Blending lessons
from nuns of yesteryear with pop culture, sports, and reality TV imagery,
topics include
Crips or Crusaders: Can you spot a Catholic?
“Vatican’s Got Saints” reality TV competition
Exorcisms, apparitions, Jesus in Cheetos, and other leaps of
faith
Kneeling, Genuflection Lunges, and Sweating to the Oldies
Little Debbie Saint-Naming Rebellion
Catholic Home Décor: bathtub shrines and saintly garden
gnomes
