November Books 14) Catholics in Western Democracies, by John H. Whyte

[nwhyte]

Of my father's four books, this was much the least successful; rather than addressing a concrete issue in Irish history or politics, he attempted a wide survey of the extent to which Catholics were organised as such, in a rather small set of countries - those European or European-descended states that had enjoyed democracy since the second world

Did he look at Canada at all?

Yes, and split it for consideration between Quebec and The Rest; though in both cases he found a fairly open version of Catholicism.
