Martha candidly recounts memories of her Catholic childhood: beginning with her parents choosing which saint to name her after and continuing through her Catholic high school education, taught by nuns. Experience the strict discipline and rules of a system where independent thinking was discouraged. Parents and elders were to be obeyed and respected, while children were expected to accept punishment out of the fear of God. Afterall, obedience was a gift from the Holy Spirit. Everything was forbidden, everyone was a sinner, and every action put students at risk for “going to hell.

The journey continues into adulthood with Dr. Lucas’s willingness to question authority, grapple with her own identity, and slide into becoming what she lovingly calls an “ambiguous” Catholic. She offers a visceral account of Catholic guilt, desire, piety, anger, and the superstitions that shaped the Catholic upbringing.

Who were Catholic Daughters? Why did these young women work so hard to fit into the Catholic mold, even to the extent of making up sins? And what kinds of sins did you make up when you were a kid just so you’d have something to say to the priest in the confessional? This provocative question at the end of the “Confession” chapter is just one that is at the core of Catholic Daughters of Catholic Mothers.
