Autor Jay P. Corrin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 dec 2010
Tracing the development of progressive Catholic approaches to political and economic modernization, this volume disputes standard interpretations of the Catholic response to democracy and modernity in the English-speaking world - particularly the conventional view that the Church was the servant of right-wing reactionaries and authoritarian, patriarchal structures.

Recenzii

“Jay P. Corrin’s new book is a major contribution to the study of Catholic intellectuals and their varying responses to these issues in the century following the French Revolution. Thoroughly researched, the book provides a comprehensive view of the Catholic intellectual scene in Europe and America through the prism of the personalities and events that shaped their thinking. Catholic intellectuals brings to light an important part of Catholic intellectual history that societies like the United States, in which Catholics comprise the largest single religious denomination, should revisit.” —Crisis Magazine

“[Corrin] has done a tremendous amount of research into primary sources, and the extensive documentation is impressive. He provides an engaging treatment of English Catholics in general and Belloc in particular, and splendid treatment of the Spanish Civil War. . . . [Corrin] has written a rewarding volume filled with colorful characters, insightful comments on well-known events, and revealing information on more obscure chapters in the tale of Catholic thinkers and democracy.” —Theological Studies

“Corrin meticulously follows the development of some of the most significant progressive American and European Catholic thinkers on politics and social issues. He reliably assesses their contributions, carefully establishing the background against which they acted.” —Choice

Textul de pe ultima copertă

“A fascinating study of the distinctly varying perspectives of early-twentieth-century intellectuals consciously moved by Catholic principles.  Corrin’s careful analysis shows that thinkers like Belloc, Chesterton, H. A. Reinhold, and Luigi Sturzo defy easy categorization. An excellent guide to their different responses to issues like the Spanish Civil War.” —John P. McCarthy, professor of history and Director, Institute of Irish Studies, Fordham University

“Professor Corrin has produced an informative, balanced, and insightful study of the Catholic Church's liberal or progressive voices from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s.  This book is required reading for anyone reflecting on how the Church should relate to the contemporary world.” —Robert Krieg, professor of theology, University of Notre Dame

“Professor Corrin’s book is a significant contribution to our understanding of the Catholic reaction to the modern world, and particularly to the cataclysmic events of the 1920s and 1930s.  Corrin succeeds splendidly in bringing to light the activities of a small and oft-ignored group of progressive Catholics struggling against reactionary critics to show the world that Church teaching was not hostile to democracy.  The author’s wide reading in the sources and his clear explanatory style make this work necessary reading for anyone who wants to understand Catholic thought as an essential element in the entire fabric of intellectual discourse on the problems of democracy and of the poor.” —Jose Sanchez, professor of history at Saint Louis University and author of The Spanish Civil War as a Religious Tragedy
