  2. Greetings!

    If you mean "Signs and Seasons" - yes, and we LOVED it. My son and I went through it this past year and we'll do so again in another year or two. We wanted to get a good overview; then he uses it as a resource here and there as we start a new season. It led to a lot of "rabbit trails" for him :)

    There are many Scriptural quotes as well as quotes from early Church Fathers as well as pre-Christian writers in regards to the sky. I found nothing to be anti-Catholic or even remotely opposed to Catholic teaching of any sort. Just a wonderful emphasis on exploring the sky in the same way that our most ancient ancestors did.
