Dr. Edward Mcglynn

This biography tells the story of Dr. Edward McGlynn (1837-1900), a prominent American Catholic priest and social reformer. A vocal critic of the Church's handling of social issues, including labor rights and the treatment of Native Americans, McGlynn was excommunicated in 1887. His case sparked a nationwide controversy over the role of the Church in social justice issues, and he became a figurehead for the progressive movement in America. This book provides a fascinating insight into the life and work of a key figure in the history of American Catholicism.
