| Summary: | The title is more provocative than needs be, for this is an unprecedented landmark study of American Catholic liberal–progressive movements post-Vatican II. This study will be of historic importance for future research. As if this were not enough to recommend it, the study also has an exceptional literary quality and a fine methodological even-handedness. So often in English, objective studies read more like they have been written by a machine rather than just on one, but not so here. The data are detailed, but at the same time, the author's literary skill, and empathy bring out the human dimension in all its color, so necessary given the ultimately intimate nature of the subject matter upon which all the data are abstracted. |
