Catholics, writes Thomas Day, have been so busy arguing among themselves about the ordination of women, what the Church can or can't tell them to do, and similar "hot" issues that they haven't paid attention to a real crisis in their midst - the disappearance of their cultural "soul." In the rush to make the Church more modern after Vatican II, U.S. Catholics have developed one guilt complex after another about their cultural heritage, especially in liturgy, architecture, and music.
Day takes the reader back and forth across the pre- and post-Vatican II divide, from the Latin Mass to the latest liturgical experiment, from the isolationist Church of the past to the trendier-than-thou parishes of today. With an eye for the bizarre development, he examines Catholicism's identity crisis by focusing on the visual symptoms, especially in the arts.
