About this book

Catholics in America are facing hard questions after the clergy sexual abuse scandal and divisions over social and theological matters. James M. O'Toole asks whether the present situation is really unique, and where Catholicism might head next.

His answer rests on the belief that the present is best understood by studying the past. The book tells the story of the church from the perspective of the laity, the ordinary members of the faith, across a broad and wide-ranging history.

Readers interested in American religious history, the Catholic Church and the lives of lay believers will find the book a broad and useful account.
