Toil and Transcendence, Catholicism in 20th Century America
By Fr. Charles P. Connor
The 20th century saw a great blossoming of holy fervor within the Catholic faith. Dioceses were expanded, new parishes and schools built to take in the growing number of children, and convents and monasteries flourished as vocations soared! This beautifully researched book brings you a timeline of this period of American history, and the key events and persons of that time.
Topics include:
- How a phone call from Bishop Sheen to a politician over anti-Catholic messaging led to a conversion.
- The brave way a group of students responded to a KKK rally in South Bend.
- FDR's response to New York's Cardinal Spellman and more!
