The American Catholic community prior to Vatican II can be numbered among the most vital expressions of Catholicism in history. Despite the cultural divide separating us from that era, the contributors to Reclaiming Catholicism—a who’s who of theologians and spiritual writers—assess whether spiritual wisdom from those times can enrich the faith lives of Catholics today.

With topics ranging from devotional practices such as the Rosary, to perspectives on the church, priesthood, religious life, and sexuality, to profiles of figures including Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day, the contributors include Richard McBrien, Luke Timothy Johnson, Dianne Bergant, Donald Cozzens, Richard Rohr, Ronald Rolheiser, Mary Boys, and Christine Gudorf.

Praise

I love this book. . . . The writers have caught the mystery of Christ in us— which is everything.

Sister Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking

This stroll down the memory lane of American Catholicism may well prove, if proof is required, that the history of yesterday has important things to say about our present and our future.

Lawrence S. Cunningham, University of Notre Dame

Amidst the cacophony of derogatory and divisive rhetoric in the Church and the wider world today, it is a delight to hear such a wide range of voices strike a chord that will resonate with pre- and post-Conciliar Catholics alike.

Michael Downey, editor, New Dictionary of Catholic Spirituality
