Excellent Sensitivity Resource

This is exceptional resource for all to learn the mindset of American Catholics. Too often we assume they are back in the Reformation times, and they don't consider themselves there at all. Thus, to approach them this book is an invaluable source. Well written, historically accurate, this is insight into American Catholic ethos at its best!
