A man far ahead of his time, Archbishop Edwin V. O'Hara of Kansas
City (1881-1956) orchestrated numerous initiatives that profoundly
affected American Catholic life. His ceaseless activity as both
priest and bishop sowed seeds that flourished long past his
lifetime, from liturgical reform to Bible study, campus ministry to
social justice, minimum wage legislation to founding the National
Catholic Rural Life Conference. The pastoral challenges he
confronted in the first half of the last century--institutional
complacency; disorganization among Catholics and reluctance to
openly profess their faith; ignorance of social justice principles;
the defense of the Church in a sometimes hostile culture--all
remain significant challenges for the American Church today.
Timothy Michael Dolan, Archbishop of New York, researched and
composed this biography in the early 1990s and continues to cite
O'Hara as his role model of an immensely effective bishop. In an
effort to revisit the pioneering work of church leaders, this book
is published for the first time in paperback and features a new
preface by Archbishop Dolan.
