Title: Useful but slanted
Review: As a committed Catholic I looked forward to reading this book and it was initially all I hoped for, telling the tale of the history of the Bride of Christ in riveting detail.The author's desire to stuff his own political predilictions into the text, however, drive it off the rails as one reaches modern times.Just an example: The Civil War is identified as the War Between the States. The description of the Church's reaction to slavery in the South seems to suggest that slavery wasn't such a bad thing, after all.My suggestion: stop reading it once the 19th Century arrives.
