Title: Parish Priest glimpse into Catholocism in mid-nineteenth century
Product review: I learned three things from this biography of Fr. McGivney.- the prevalency of anti-Catholic bigotry in the mid-nineteenth century in the United States- the short life expentancy of workers and pastors, and the resulting lack of security for the families left behind- the difficulties in the Roman Catholic Church had in supporting their members that recently emmigrated to the United StatesThe result was the establishment of organizations, especially the Knights of Columbus, that addressed some of these issues by developing better Catholic men through a fraternal benefits society.
