Publisher Description

Shaken by the ongoing clergy sexual abuse scandal, and challenged from within by social and theological division, Catholics in America are at a crossroads. O'Toole tells the story of this ancient church from the perspective of ordinary Americans, the lay believers who have kept their faith despite persecution from without and clergy abuse from within.

"It's been a year since I read this, but from what I remember, it was superb! I really enjoy reading about background of what goes on during the Mass (why we do what we do), and I love history. This book did a wonderful job of combining those two aspects. "

    " The first 80 pages about put me to sleep (no, actually did!) with lots of repetition, but the rest was very interesting. Like a walk down memory lane. Not much discussion of the Native Americans, and the missionary work done in the west and southwest, however. "
