American Catholic: The Saints and Sinners Who Built America's Most Powerful Church by Charles Morris

thomasdolan's review

2.0

got at wfb book sale

first half is relatively engaging history of preconciliar catholicism in america. really more just irish american catholicism though. plus two stars for the irish bias, and plus one star for ignoring the italians

second half covers v2 through ‘97 or whenever and shifts into first person slightly preachy long-form journalism with bland takes that are even blander now. minus one star

someone please recommend me a book that has nothing to do w religion
