The Church Confronts Modernity by Thomas Woods Jr
As the twentieth century opened, American intellectuals grew increasingly sympathetic to pragmatism and empirical methods in the social sciences. This book examines how the Catholic Church attempted to retain its identity in an age of pluralism. It shows a Church fundamentally united on major issues.
