The Catholic Hipster Handbook: Rediscovering Cool Saints, Forgotten Prayers, and Other Weird but Sacred Stuff

13 minutes

Offering an alt-culture perspective on Catholic faith and practice. It includes a variety of essays and commentary from different contributors who explore unconventional or sometimes forgotten aspects of Catholicism, suggesting that embracing a "hipster" or countercultural identity aligns with authentic faith. Topics covered range widely, including Eucharistic Adoration, the Traditional Latin Mass, beards, fashion, baby names, humor, and digital evangelization through platforms like Twitter and Catholic radio. Each section often features a "Cool Saint," a "Forgotten Prayer," and an "Activity," encouraging readers to engage with the faith in new, sometimes quirky ways while drawing from the Church’s rich history and tradition. The book is presented as a funny, honest, and provocative guide for modern Catholics seeking a deeper, more culturally authentic expression of their beliefs.
