Catholic Fundamentalism in America by Mark S Massa Sj
Catholic Fundamentalism in America gives an account of a militantly anti-modern movement within the American Catholic community through portraits of seven individuals and movements that have shaped it.
With deep insight and deft analysis, Mark Massa shines a light into the dark corners of American CatholicismThis important book exposes both the motivations and the tactics of Catholic fundamentalists who have propagated an alternative universe of Latin masses and scorching rhetoric aimed at the overthrow of a 'liberal' Catholic hierarchy." * Randall Balmer, author of Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory: A Journey into the Evangelical Subculture in America *
This must-read book guides us into a specific form of religious fundamentalism in the USA * the Catholic variety. Massa shows us the very American and, at the same time, profoundly sectarian roots of this phenomenon, and its relevance to understanding the long transition from the pre-Vatican II Church to twenty-first-century American Catholicism with its global outreach."
