American Catholic The Saints and Sinners Who Built America's Most Powerful Church

"It's journalism of a very high order...a cracking good story with a wonderful cast of rogues, ruffians and some remarkably holy and sensible people....What makes Morris' tale so good is that it is journalistic history, not academic history, combining a journalist's good eye...for the story and the meaning of the thing with a vivid love of the telling detail and the personalities who pass through it....He has assimilated a multitude of documents and conversations and incorporated them into the narrative with exceptional skill. I was particularly won over by his ability to write detailed accounts of his life tin the most conservative and most liberal dioceses in the country....He makes the protagonists of both seem reasonable on their own terms."Morris, Charles is the author of 'American Catholic The Saints and Sinners Who Built America's Most Powerful Church', published 1998 under ISBN 9780679742210 and ISBN 0679742212.
