I've already read the first 100 pgs of this one and it is fantastic. Msgr. O'Connell gives us a lively historical/biographical account of the personalities and intellectual movements behind the late-19th and early 20th century crisis of modernism in the Church. His writing is superb: clear, engaging, detailed. Highly, highly recommended!

I found my way here by a circuitous path: a link from a comment to a review on Amazon of Fr. McBrien's "Catholicism".
ReplyDeleteAnd once here, to find your recommendation of this volume on the heretical plague of Modernism, makes this a twice joyful discovery.
Bless you, Father, for all your good works.
Thank you, Mr Meyer! And welcome to H.A.
DeleteO'Connell's book is a serious historical study with just enough drama to keep you reading. I can't tell just yet how sympathetic he is to the modernists, but I'd be surprised if he weren't. Regardless, it's a good read.
