by James P. McCartin (Author)
A hundred years ago Catholic believers young and old, rich and poor, would fill churches on holy days, drawn together in prayer and in the conviction that they, the laypeople, needed the clergy and patron saints to mediate between them and their God. This book traces dramatic changes in the practice of faith among American Catholics.
