Men Astutely Trained: A History of the Jesuits in the American Century Paperback - 1994

by Mcdonough, Peter

  • Used

The social revolution of the '60s, the exodus from ethnic neighborhoods and parishes, and the Jesuits' own success in preparing their students for mainstream middle class diluted their stern influence on this newly secularized Catholic world. McDonough shows how these phenomena have changed not only American society, but the Jesuits themselves.
