Reviews and Commentary
From The Publisher:
"A cracking good story with a wonderful cast of rogues, ruffians and some remarkably
holy and sensible people." --Los Angeles Times Book Review
Before the potato famine ravaged Ireland in the 1840s, the Roman Catholic Church was
barely a thread in the American cloth. Twenty years later, New York City was home to more
Irish Catholics than Dublin. Today, the United States boasts some sixty million members of
the Catholic Church, which has become one of this country's most influential cultural
forces.
In American Catholic: The Saints and Sinners Who Built America's Most Powerful Church,
Charles R. Morris recounts the rich story of the rise of the Catholic Church in America,
bringing to life the personalities that transformed an urban Irish subculture into a
dominant presence nationwide. Here are the stories of rogues and ruffians, heroes and
martyrs--from Dorothy Day, a convert from Greenwich Village Marxism who opened shelters
for thousands, to Cardinal William O'Connell, who ran the Church in Boston from a
Renaissance palazzo, complete with golf course. Morris also reveals the Church's
continuing struggle to come to terms with secular, pluralist America and the theological,
sexual, authority, and gender issues that keep tearing it apart. As comprehensive as it is
provocative, American Catholic is a tour de force, a fascinating cultural history that
will engage and inform both Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
