DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen John Carroll became bishop of Baltimore in 1789, his diocese encompassed what was then the United States, from the Chesapeake to the Mississippi, from the Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. For almost a century and a half, the archbishop of Baltimore remained the virtual leader of his church in the new republic. In The Premier See, Thomas W. Spalding chronicles the growth, tensions, and politics of the archdiocese that helped shape the history of American Catholicism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA history of an important urban Catholic parish (founded in 1841) that has survived radically changing demographics, decades of civic, mercantile, and industrial encroachment, and urban blight. The first half of the book (Spalding) tells the social history of the parish and the changing ethnic groups thai have been its congregations: Irish, Italian, and African-American, and how the church has adapted to their needs. The second half (Kuranda) is an architectural history of the church, whose Georgian lower is one of the most important landmarks in the mid-Atlantic region. St. Vincent's is nationally famous for its midnight primers' masses (held after newspapers in the area went to press). The heroic story of St. Vincent's, now under the direction of the dynamic Father Dick Lawrence, will inspire Catholic clergy and laity in all urban areas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBaltimore is the setting for (and typifies) one of the most penetrating examinations of bigotry and residential segregation ever published in the United States. Antero Pietila shows how continued discrimination practices toward African Americans and Jews have shaped the cities in which we now live. Eugenics, racial thinking, and white supremacist attitudes influenced even the federal government's actions toward housing in the 20th century, dooming American cities to ghettoization. This all-American tale is told through the prism of Baltimore, from its early suburbanization in the 1880s to the consequences of "white flight" after World War II, and into the first decade of the twenty-first century. The events are real, and so are the heroes and villains. Mr. Pietila's engrossing story is an eye-opening journey into city blocks and neighborhoods, shady practices, and ruthless promoters. -- Book jacket.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOn a wild, windy April day in Manhattan, when Mary first meets John Keane, she cannot know what lies ahead of her. A marriage, a fleeting season of romance, and the birth of four children will bring John and Mary to rest in the safe embrace of a traditional Catholic life in the suburbs. But neither Mary nor John, distracted by memories and longings, can feel the wind that is buffeting their children, leading them in directions beyond their parents’ control. Michael and his sister Annie are caught up in the sexual revolution. Jacob, brooding and frail, is drafted to Vietnam. And the youngest, Clare, commits a stunning transgression after a childhood spent pleasing her parents. As John and Mary struggle to hold on to their family and their faith, Alice McDermott weaves an elegant, unforgettable portrait of a world in flux–and of the secrets and sorrows, anger and love, that lie at the heart of every family.
