The Rise and Fall of Triumph - The History of a Radical Roman Catholic Magazine, 1966-1976 (Hardcover)

This is a history of Triumph a post-Vatican II, Roman Catholic lay magazine that examines its origins and decline, paying special attention to the editors often bellicose views on a range of issues, from Church affairs to the Vietnam War, from civil rights to abortion. It was a magazine unlike any other publication in 1960s and early 1970s America. Triumph s editors formed the magazine to defend the faith against what they perceived as the imprudent and secular excesses of Vatican II reformers, but especially against what they viewed as an increasing barbarous and anti-Christian American society. Yet Triumph was not a defensive magazine; rather, it was audaciously triumphalist proclaiming the Roman Catholic faith as the solution to America s ills. Its editors formed the magazine, then, principally to conquer America for the Roman Catholic faith. They sought to convert Americans to Roman Catholicism and to construct a confessional state that subjected its power to the moral authority of the Roman Catholic Church. If the liberalizing and secularizing trajectory in American society exalted man as sovereign of himself and his world, as Triumph s editors posited, then their mission was to reinstitute Christ s Kingship, to hallow the world in His name. In a democratic and pluralist society that was increasingly secular and liberal, this was a radical mission.
