Patriotic Leaders of the Church

Product Description

Since the founding of the United States, critics have maintained Catholic leaders' allegiance to Rome has tainted their allegiance to their country.

Since the establishing of the basic right of free speech, those who oppose what the Church teaches and the public policies it promotes have held that America's bishops must remain mute. And, since the earliest days of the republic and throughout its history, brave, intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, and compassionate Catholic leaders have not stayed silent. Ignoring the argument that their must be either/or, they have proven it is both/and.

Now veteran journalist and respected author Jack Fink presents the fascinating and inspiring lives of these staunchly-Catholic, deeply civic-minded leaders.
