During the Second Vatican Council, the Roman Catholic Church went
through a period of liberal reform under the stewardship of Popes
John XXIII and Paul VI. Successive popes sharply reversed course,
enforcing conservative ideological values and silencing progressive
voices in the Church. Consequently, those Catholics who had
embraced the spirit of Vatican II were left feeling adrift and
betrayed. In Unruly Catholics from Dante to Madonna, scholars of
literature, film, religion, history, and sociology delve into this
conflict and historically similar ones through the examination of
narratives by and about rebellious Catholics. Essays in Unruly
Catholics explore how renowned Catholic literary figures Dante
Alighieri, Oscar Wilde, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and Gerard
Manley Hopkins dealt with the disparities between their personal
beliefs and the Church s official teachings. Contributors also
suggest how controversial entertainers such as Madonna, Kevin
Smith, Michael Moore, and Stephen Colbert practice forms of
Catholicism perhaps worthy of respect. Most pointedly, Unruly
Catholics addresses the recent sex abuse scandals, considers the
possibility that the Church might be reformed from within, and
presents three iconic figures Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, and C.S.
Lewis as models of compassionate and reformist Christianity."
