Faith and Fury by Father Charles P. Connor

Faith and Fury, The Rise of Catholicism During the Civil War
By Father Charles P. Connor

Is it possible that a historical understanding of the Civil War can help one build a bridge to friends and family that may not understand your Catholic faith and values? Absolutely! In here you'll discover that there were Catholics of all kinds, priests, bishops and laity, on both sides of the conflict. People who prayed that God would give victory to their side as cannonballs were raining down during Mass on the battlefield. The struggle might be different today, but the divide is often just as broad as between North and South.

Chapters include:
- Coming of the Civil War, 1848-1860
- The Church and Slavery
- The War years, 1861-1865
- The Irish contribution
- Reconstruction, 1865-1877
