Sometimes I think I am too Hard on the RCC, and then Something Like This Comes Along
Sometimes, like with Managing the Civilian Workforce, a book's cover will suggest a story that doesn't come to fruition when you actually start looking through the text. In that case, I have to sort of fudge the blog and use lots of CAPS to show how CRAZY!! the book is.
But...not this time. By all first impressions this book is designed for small children. Children under the age of 8. Like this book:
And, I know what you are thinking, "Kids and Priests - We've heard it all before." And, yes, Sacristy* is in the dictionary under S. But, what is really great about this book is it doesn't shy away from the good words. Hell, Purgatory, Sin, and Temptation are all defined.
I wonder if actually this whole dictionary is just a ruse by some Catholic Press to get kids to read...
*If you owned this dictionary you would know that a sacristy is "a room attached to a church, where the clergy vest or where sacred vessels and vestments are kept." The book does actually use it in a sentence, "We should visit the sacristy sometime." which made shivers go down my spine. Kids, do NOT visit the sacristy with anyone, okay?
