Focusing on three generations of Boston priests in the late nineteenth century, the author challenges the notion that Boston Catholicism is solely defined by Irish identity. Through a detailed examination of the tensions faced by Boston clerics and intellectuals, the study reveals their efforts to reconcile their faith with the evolving urban landscape. This insightful analysis offers a fresh perspective on the complexities of Boston Catholic culture and the diverse influences that shaped it during this transformative period.
