| Summary: | Reconstruction was an ambitious political, social, and economic program designed by the Radical Republicans of Congress to remake Southern society in the aftermath of the Union's military victory. Congressional Reconstruction provides a background to another kind of restoration that was going on throughout the South at the time -the Catholic Spiritual Reconstruction. This Catholic Reconstruction was not a centralized program, but was realized tangibly and locally among pastors and people of the region. The ravages of war dislocated Catholic life no more so than at Charleston, South Carolina. Undaunted by a lack of resources and support, John Moore, the pastor of St. Patrick's Parish, Charleston, provides us a distinctive pastoral window to view various aspects of Catholic Spiritual Reconstruction from 1865 through 1877. |
