Joseph Koot

Updating My Catholic God Joseph Koot

"As I listen to his sobs, my world begins to crumble." The tears of the novice in the next cubicle make Joseph question his path to priesthood. At such times the Catholic Faith makes no sense, and yet it can help people deal with life's challenges. In "Updating My Catholic God," Joseph explores his Catholic childhood, teenage years in the seminary and the fulfillment of adult family life. As a practising Catholic, Joseph is critical of the Church and rebels against its pretensions. The book ends with a hopeful message of celebrating the God we see in each other.
