Why Do Catholics Eat Fish on Friday?: The Catholic Origin to Just About Everything
Not a horrible book, just rather dry. I'm sure it's researched well, but it reads like a fact website printed out as aside from the chapter openings (which are nice and informative) it's just lists of Catholic factoids.
Some are a bit reaching, like a good portion are more derived from medieval Western Europe than anything else, which obviously was dominated by the Christian church at the time which was, yes, Catholic before the Reformation.
Still interesting to a degree, but would only recommend for people that are really into Catholicism, as even a former Catholic (or as the book would say 'apostate' lol) I found it to be a large shallow pool. Would rather find book that delves more into how the Catholic Church shaped the Middle Ages and how much of these trends/words/habits are still around today.
