1. We admit that our spiritual lives were carjacked by Catholic guilt and shame and we want our ride back.

2. Came to believe that sanity is best defined by women who do humor and fabulous shoes.

3. Closed the dogma closet and outfitted our own spiritual lives.

4. Made a searching and fearless inventory of our warped perspectives, irrational guilt, lurking shame, and ugly church clothes.

5. Stopped confessing the exact nature of our wrongs to frustrated men in dark closets.

6. Were entirely ready to forgive our own character defects and to celebrate the fabulous in ourselves and others.

7. Humbly asked God to remove all sin that wasn’t strikingly original.

8. Made a list of all persons we had harmed and a second list of those who really deserved it.

9. Offered Novenas for persons we had wrongly harmed. Then tackled the really long list.

10. Continued to take inventory of our closet and decide how to best help the American economy recover.

11. Sought conscious contact with God without relying on intermediaries in bad hats.

12. Having had an awakening as a result of these steps, we share with other RCGs and live our lives with humor and sass.
