Others included such journals and newspapers as Extension, Maryknoll, The Catholic Worker, The National Catholic Register, The Wanderer, Social Justice Review, Origins, LADOC (Latin American Documentation), St. Anthony Messenger, Priest, Sisters, and U.S. Catholic. The periodicals ranged from what Brett describes as progressive to conservative (traditionalist).

This chapter dilates on the role American Passionists, especially one priest, played in the narrative of indigenization in China's Catholic Church. The American priest I shall form my study around, Father Leonard Amrhein, CP, (1911-1990) was from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. From 1940 to 1945 his life was very directly influenced by the Japanese who controlled Beijing, China. Given that my research here centers largely on one American, it is necessary to ask: how much could his zeal for souls have shaped the indigenous Catholic Church in China, especially given his history of confinement? I propose the answer to this question invites us to see the evangelical missionary landscape in twentieth-century Republican China (1911-1949) as one that makes sense in a politically and socially unsettled society best described by the Chinese term for chaos, luan (亂). This term variously suggests disarray, political rebellion, or natural disorders such as earthquakes or famines. In whatever context luan appears, it describes a society in an unpleasant state.1 For both foreign missionaries and indigenous Chinese alike, the world in which Father Amrhein lived was a chaotic world fueled by war. I suggest that the rituals of life endured by Amrhein during the Anti-Japanese War (1937-1945) led up to and paralleled struggles that were later lived out in similar fashion by his American and Chinese counterparts as they attempted to bring to life and live out the local faith in the Catholic diocese of Yuanling, (沅陵) Hunan (湖南),

Schneiders, I.H.M., offer two different perspectives on contemporary religious life. The editors of American Catholic Studies decided it would benefit readers if we invited four distinguished scholars to review both books. We were pleased that two of our reviewers are women religious; one is a priest in a religious community, and our fourth reviewer is a Christian Brother. Recent actions by church authorities in both Rome and the United States have only increased the relevance of these reviews for our readers.

It covers unfamiliar topics such as anti-Catholicism, rural Catholicism, Latino Catholics, and issues related to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the U.S. government. It continues with fascinating discussions on popular culture (film and literature), women religious, and the work of U.S. missionaries in other countries. The final section of the book is devoted to Catholic social teaching, tackling challenging and sometimes controversial subjects such as the relationship between African American Catholics and the Communist Party, Catholics in the civil rights movement, the abortion debate, issues of war and peace, and Vatican II and the American Catholic Church. The book examines the history of U.S. Catholicism from a variety of perspectives that transcend the familiar account of the immigrant, urban pari...
