Emphasizing the post--Vatican II era, Chester Gillis offers a cogent survey of U.S. Catholic history, and explores the various roles and missions of the church in such issues as education, health care, and charity. Throughout the book, he examines the persistent tension between the faith's traditional authority in Rome and its incarnation in America, which is influenced by a thoroughly modern, dynamic, and secular culture.
