Product Details
In The Catholic Hipster Handbook, you’ll discover why being a Catholic Hipster is all about an attitude. Cultivating an attitude grounded in being part of a countercultural community of believers dedicated to something bigger than themselves in a world dominated by self-centeredness. Embracing more about the faith by seeking out “Catholic cool”—overlooked saints, forgotten prayers and feast days, and traditional practices long set aside by mainstream believers. The Catholic Hipster Handbook was created by podcaster Tommy Tighe to help readers rediscover everything awesome about the Catholic faith.
The Catholic Hipster Handbook has its roots in the fun that began in 2014 when Tighe’s blog put on the Catholic Hipster of the Year contest. But Tighe’s Twitter feed is where a group of cool and funky countercultural Catholics gather to swap one-liners, hilarious hipster memes, and all things authentically Catholic.
Tighe even met comedienne Jeannie Gaffigan, who wrote the foreword for The Catholic Hipster Handbook, on Twitter. She said what drew her to the feed was that Tighe was “an embarrassingly Catholic dude who knew he was embarrassingly Catholic and was not embarrassed by it” and that he was “not preachy or judgey or divisive.” Catholic hipsters in a nutshell. Tighe and a group of hipster friends including Sarah Vabulas, Anna Mitchell, Fr. Kyle Schnippel, and Lisa M. Hende, explore the beautiful weirdness of the Catholic Church. They share their love for extraordinary saints, offer up obscure prayers, provide short reflections on something quirky and Catholic they’ve rediscovered, and dare readers to put their faith into action with some cool and challenging practices they can do on their own.
The Catholic Hipster Handbook illuminates what’s awesome about:
- Wearing a scapular
- Applying Laudato Si’ at your local farmer’s market
- Hanging with priests, monks, and nuns
- Learning to see Christ in making beer
- Praying the Rosary everywhere you go
- Loving the Latin Mass
- Making the Liturgy of the Hours a daily part of your routine
