By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Open Window

The other day John and I went car shopping to replace our minivan. We went to a couple of dealerships to look around. At the second one, we decided to buy a car. Purchasing an automobile is not my favorite thing to do—and I know I’m not alone. Many people do not enjoy car shopping. […]

June 14, 2023
By Rita Buettner
Catholic Review
Filed Under: Blog, Commentary, Open Window
