Description
About the Book
Sick Pilgrims is an anthology of essays by Catholic artists and writers and how their faith--or rebellion against it--changed their lives and their work.
Book Synopsis
Sick Pilgrims is a collection of very personal essays by Catholic writers and artists of widely different backgrounds.
Some have written about their ongoing struggles to find a spiritual home in a Church that so often does not understand them or comfort them. Some have written about how they fled from traditional Catholicism, while still being haunted by rituals and traditions that found their way into their art.
Each story is one of self discovery and exploration that will resonate with anyone who has been challenged by how religion struggles to make sense of the world and our place within it.
