reviewed Catholicism in Social and Historical Contexts: An Introduction on January 04, 2016 Catholicism in Social and Historical Contexts: An Introduction
The women who wrote these accounts are baby boomers like me and I identified so much with their stories. I am not Catholic, but the conflicts with secular society were similar for me as a Protestant and God's love and redemptive gifts are the same to all Christians. I read some parts to my husband and it hit home with him, too. It brought back many memories of the 60's and 70's and sheds more light on the struggles of women who could no longer accept some of the doctrine feminist groups and the radical left were espousing. I didn't know how much Vatican II had changed the church and I grieved with them for the losses.
