Martin Marty has written a perspective and sensitive account of the fascinating story of the Catholic Church in America. As an introduction to the history of American Catholocism, it will be hard to beat. This book tries to trace the church and the people through five centuries...While Americans are often accused of having little sense of history, it must be said that Catholics especially neglect their rich history on this continent. They seem irrelevant to some of the Catholic does and shapers. Their stories are too rich in contradiction for the simplicists. They are too expressive of human limits to satisfy the pious would lead-encase their Catholocism.
