Summary: A splendid book
Comment: This is one of the best books on Roman Catholics in Modern North America that I have encountered.
Rating: 1
Summary: Like most "intellectuals", McGreevy is clueless
Comment: It's fine for John T. McGreevy to sit in his ivory tower of idealism and pass judgment on everyone he deems "racist." He needs a reality check, e.g. a drive through any large city where once stable, safe working class neighborhoods are now dangerous slums. He should be shown the growing lists of churches and schools which were closed and parishes (some over a hundred years old) that were phased out of existence because the present denizens of "changed" neighborhoods cannot or will not support them.
Like most of the so-called "intelligentsia", Mr. McGreevy does not realize that, most times, what is marvelous in theory is horrific in practice. This was the case with communism and it also holds for integration.

Summary: Like most "intellectuals", McGreevy is clueless
Comment: It's perfectly fine for John McGreevy to sit in his ivory tower and pass judgment on those he deems "racist."
What he needs is a reality check....he should take a ride through ANY big city and see how once vital working class neighborhoods have been turned to dangerous slums by his precious "integration."
He needs to be shown the ever-growing lists of all the Catholic churches and schools that have been closed and parishes either merged or phased out of existence...many over 100 years old... because the denizens of these "changed" neighborhoods either can't or won't support them.
Like most of the so-called "intelligenstia", McGreevy fails to see that what is marvelous in theory just does not work in reality.
