Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This is probably a silly question, but what does it mean when someone says they are a "crunchy Catholic"? Thanks!

"Crunchy" refers to your "granola factor", i.e. how much of a hippie you are. Usually crunchy people do some or all of the following: use NFP, birth naturally, breastfeed, bedshare, gentle discipline, cloth diaper, eat natural/organic... things like that.

Thanks Tracy! That's always been such a mystery to me. Now I get it!

Becky, thanks for asking this question! I've always wondered too.

Tracy, thanks for the answer. I've been "crunchy" and a "hippie" for over 16 years and didn't even know it!!
