4.0 out of 5 starsHow the Irish lost their Church
By John L Murphy TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on May 26, 2006
Format: Paperback
Dr Fuller, an historian, adapts what must have been quite a graduate thesis into this book. In about 250 pp. of main text, she manages to keep a narrative flowing that takes in an enormous amount of research while never getting bogged down in jargon, tangents, or polemic. Fuller keeps her tone serious but not pedantic, no small feat given the historical, theological, sociological, and educational theories she must navigate along with hundreds of primary and secondary sources to back up her arguments. Mary Kenny, who is cited here for her disruptions in favor of feminism and contraception in the early 70s, has written, about five years before Fuller's study, a more popularized overview of roughly the same period. Having read Kenny's "Goodbye to Catholic Ireland" immediately prior to Fuller, I recommend Kenny (despite a plethora of typographical errors) for the beginner. Fuller's coverage is understandably more in-depth and analytical rather than conversational, although both Kenny and Fuller investigate some of the same sources.

Their common and the best source being the "Question Box" where advice on accepted Catholic procedures was sought and dispensed in the pages of the paper the Sacred Heart Messenger: chapter 3 of Fuller's book captures well the ethos and the spirit of Irish Catholic mores circa mid 20-c, a time nearly unimaginable by any observer fresh only to today's Ireland. What has been lost, both Kenny and Fuller agree, is the good nature and the relative innocence of the laity. In a society where the arbiters of proper conduct and approved thinking were the clergy, many an ordinary Irish person was neither encouraged nor much able to think at a sustained level independently about moral judgements, interior spirituality, or personal responsibility.Read more ›
