Perspectives
John McGreevy has written a book of such breadth and erudition as to daunt a would-be reviewer. How to evaluate so formidable an achievement? One could, of course, devote one's allotted paragraphs exclusively to praise, all of which would be merited. (McGreevy's engaging prose would come in for prominent mention.) But what then of the critical eye that every reviewer hopes to train on even the most accomplished work of scholarship? McGreevy himse…

The Abominable Crime of Onan: Catholic Pastoral Practice and Family Limitation in the United States, 1875-1919
By the 1930s few Catholics in the United States could have been unaware of their church's absolute prohibition on contraception. A widely-publicized papal encyclical had spoken to the issue in 1930, even as various Protestant churches were for the first time giving a public blessing to the practice of birth control in marriage. Growing numbers of American Catholics had been exposed since at least 1920 to frank and vigorous preaching on the subjec…
God's Representative in Our Midst: Toward a History of the Catholic Diocesan Clergy in the United States
From a historian's point of view, the Catholic diocesan clergy in the United States look rather like forgotten men. As a group, they have never figured prominently in the scholarly literature. American Catholic history may have had an emphatically clerical bias as late as the 1950s, but the focus then was mainly on the chancery. The parish clergy were almost as neglected as the famously docile laity. The laity have moved in recent years to the fo…
Thank You, St. Jude: Women's Devotion to the Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes by Robert A. Orsi
You, St. Jude: Women's Devotion to the Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes. By Robert A. Orsi. (New Haven: Yale University Press. 1996. Pp. xiii, 303. $30.00.) St. was for me, as a Protestant child in a heavily Catholic neighborhood, the single most powerful symbol of Catholicism's fundamental otherness. It was the eroticism of the standard image that bothered me most, I thinkand perhaps the effeminate overtones that were there as well. A largely unc…
On the Margins: The State of American Catholic History
AT ITS 1990 CONVENTION, IN BELATED RECOGNITION OF WHAT HAS been something of a scholarly coming-of-age, the Organization of American Historians sponsored a panel on New Directions in American Catholic History.' The papers were excellent, the attendance respectable, the general atmosphere one of lively interest. Still, at the close of the session, an obviously well-informed member of the audience paused to commiserate with one of the panelists. It…

Who Is the Church? Conflict in a Polish Immigrant Parish in Late Nineteenth-Century Detroit
Early on the cold morning of Wednesday, December 2, 1885, a crowd beganto gather in the forecourt of a handsome brick church on the outskirts ofDetroit. The church, only recently blessed, was the Polish Roman Catholicchurch of Saint Albertus; the crowd, eventually numbering perhaps eighthundred, were Polish immigrants. Most of them were women. Shortly after 6:00, seven policemen marched into the convent opposite the church and soon emerged escort…
