A "near-masterpiece" about faith and doubt by the award-winning,
international bestselling author (The New York Times). In Rome,
surrendering to secular pressures, the Fourth Vatican Council is
stirring a revolution with their official denial of the church's
core doctrines. They've abolished clerical dress and private
confession; the Eucharist is recognized only as an outdated symbol;
and they're merging with the tenets of Buddhism. They're also
unsettled by the blind faith of devout pilgrims from around the
world congregating on a remote island monastery in Ireland-the last
spot on earth where Catholic traditions are defiantly alive. At the
behest of the Vatican, Father James Kinsella has been dispatched to
Muck Abbey with an ultimatum: Adhere to the new church or suffer
the consequences. But in Abbot Tomas O'Malley, Kinsella finds less
an adversary than a man of bewildering contradictions-unyieldingly
bound to his vows, yet long-questioning his devotion to God. Now,
between Kinsella and O'Malley comes an unexpected challenge that
will reveal their truths, their purpose, their faith, and their
doubt. "Told with . . . superb grace and wit," Catholics was
adapted by Brian Moore for the 1973 film starring Martin Sheen and
Trevor Howard (The New Yorker).
