It is surely true that 'reclaimed' spiritual wisdom from the
pre-Vatican II era can enrich the faith lives of Catholics today.
The American Catholic community prior to the Second Vatican Council
can be numbered among the most vital expressions of Catholicism in
the history of the church. The contributors are a who's-who of the
top theologians and spiritual writers today. other essays cover
devotional practices, such as prayer to the saints, devotion to
Mary, the Rosary, the Eucharistic Fast, and the Angelus, as well as
profiles of figures such as Thomas Merton, Theodore Hesburth,
Teilhard de Chardin, and Dorothy Day.
The concept of Mestizaje--a reference to the distinctive biological
and cultural intermixture that occurred in the "New World"--had
becme a foundational catagory in U.S. Latina/o theology. This book
traces the subversive and innovative ways in which Catholic
theologians have turned this concept into a powerful framework for
articulating the experiences of faith of Latina/o communities.
