The Catholic Community I Never Knew,
By
This review is from: What Parish Are You From?: A Chicago Irish Community and Race Relations (Paperback)
"What Parish are You From", a powerhouse of sensitivity, insight and humanitariansim, describes the fatherly role of the Catholic Church in immigrant America, how forces both inside and out of the realm of Catholocism were faced and how finally the neighborhoood ethnic Catholic churches met their Waterloo. The diluted essence of a neighborhood church changed the relationship of parishoner to parish forever...it was no longer able to "shelter" its people.

Excellent Analysis of What the Heck Happened and Why,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: What Parish Are You From?: A Chicago Irish Community and Race Relations (Paperback)
If you grew up on the Southwest Side of Chicago in the 60's and 70's then this book will add a new dimension to what the heck happened and why. Don't look for any kind of closure, it's not here, and that's not the purpose of the book. But there's a story to be told, and thanks to the author for doing it.
