It's about yearning to learn 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. \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Hipster\u003c\/i\u003e podcaster Tommy Tighe will help readers rediscover everything awesome about the Catholic faith. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The Catholic Hipster started out in 2014 with a little bit of fun--the Catholic Hipster of the Year contest--on Tighe's blog. But Twitter is where--in all its 140-character glory--that Tighe's \"The Catholic Hipster\" movement really took root. That's where a group of cool and funky countercultural Catholics gather to swap one-liners, hilarious hipster memes, and all things authentically Catholic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tighe even met comedienne Jeannie Gaffigan, who wrote the foreword for \u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Hipster Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tighe and a group of hipster friends--including Sarah Vabulas, Anna Mitchell, Fr. Kyle Schnippel, and Lisa M. Hendey--explore the beautiful weirdness of the Catholic Church and invite others along for the journey. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Discover what's awesome about: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWearing a scapular\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplying \u003ci\u003eLaudato Si\u003c\/i\u003e' at your local farmer's market\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHanging with priests, monks, and nuns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearning to see Christ in making beer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePraying the Rosary everywhere you go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoving the Latin Mass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaking the Liturgy of the Hours a daily part of your routine \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Catholic Hipster Handbook\u003c\/i\u003e will help readers realize the only way to go against what's normal and accepted in the culture is to be authentically Catholic.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTommy Tighe\u003c\/b\u003e is a marriage and family therapist, creator of the \u003ci\u003eSaint Dymphna's Playbook\u003c\/i\u003e podcast, and the cohost of \u003ci\u003eRepent and Submit\u003c\/i\u003e on CatholicTV.
