Jesuit scholar Rafferty (Loyola U., Chicago) presents 10 essays describing the activities of the Catholic Church in a political and social milieu not always favorable to its presence, even though it was no longer technically outlawed. Among his topics are Catholic and Protestant relations in Derry in the episcopacy of Charles O'Donnell; Cardinal Cullen, early Fenianism, and the MacManus funeral affair; and Gladstone and the disestablishment of the Church of Ireland. Some of the material has been published or delivered in other forms. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
