520    "A magisterial history of the centuries-long conflict 
       between "progress" and "tradition" in the world's largest 
       international institution. The story of Roman Catholicism 
       has never followed a singular path. In no time period has 
       this been more true than over the last two centuries. 
       Beginning with the French Revolution, extending to the 
       Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, and concluding with 
       present-day crises, John T. McGreevy chronicles the 
       dramatic upheavals and internal divisions shaping the most
       multicultural, multilingual, and global institution in the
       world. Through powerful individual stories and sweeping 
       birds-eye views, Catholicism provides a mesmerizing 
       assessment of the Church's complex role in modern history:
       both shaper and follower of the politics of nation states,
       both conservator of hierarchies and evangelizer of 
       egalitarianism. McGreevy documents the hopes and ambitions
       of European missionaries building churches and schools in 
       all corners of the world, African Catholics fighting for 
       political (and religious) independence, Latin American 
       Catholics attracted to a theology of liberation, and 
       Polish and South Korean Catholics demanding democratic 
       governments. He includes a vast cast of riveting 
       characters, known and unknown, including the Mexican 
       revolutionary Fr. Servando Teresa de Mier; Daniel 
       O'Connell, hero of Irish emancipation; Sr. Josephine 
       Bakhita, a formerly enslaved Sudanese nun; Chinese 
       statesman Ma Xiaobang; French philosopher and reformer 
       Jacques Maritain; German Jewish philosopher and convert, 
       Edith Stein; John Paul II, Polish pope and opponent of 
       communism; Gustavo Gutiérrez, Peruvian founder of 
       liberation theology; and French American patron of modern 
       art, Dominique de Menil. Throughout this essential volume,
       McGreevy details currents of reform within the Church as 
       well as movements protective of traditional customs and 
       beliefs. Conflicts with political leaders and a devotional
       revival in the nineteenth century, the experiences of 
       decolonization after World War II and the Second Vatican 
       Council in the twentieth century, and the trauma of 
       clerical sexual abuse in the twenty-first all demonstrate 
       how religion shapes our modern world. Finally, McGreevy 
       addresses the challenges faced by Pope Francis as he 
       struggles to unite the over one billion members of the 
       world's largest religious community."--|cProvided by
