Book Description
By 1952 the Chinese Communist Party had suppressed all organized resistance to its regime and stood unopposed, or so it has been believed. Internal party documents—declassified just long enough for historian Paul Mariani to send copies out of China—disclose that one group deemed an enemy of the state held out after the others had fallen. A party report from Shanghai marked “top-secret” reveals a determined, often courageous resistance by the local Catholic Church. Drawing on centuries of experience in struggling with the Chinese authorities, the Church was proving a stubborn match for the party. Mariani tells the story of how Bishop (later Cardinal) Ignatius Kung Pinmei, the Jesuits, and the Catholic Youth resisted the regime’s punishing assault on the Shanghai Catholic community and refused to renounce the pope and the Church in Rome. Acting clandestinely, mirroring tactics used by the previously underground CCP, Shanghai’s Catholics persevered until 1955, when the party arrested Kung and 1,200 other leading Catholics. The imprisoned believers were later shocked to learn that the betrayal had come from within their own ranks. Though the CCP could not eradicate the Catholic Church in China, it succeeded in dividing it. Mariani’s secret history traces the origins of a deep split in the Chinese Catholic community, where relations between the “Patriotic” and underground churches remain strained even today.

Unceasing Militant
Author: Alison M. Parker
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469659395
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Born into slavery during the Civil War, Mary Church Terrell (1863–1954) would become one of the most prominent activists of her time, with a career bridging the late nineteenth century to the civil rights movement of the 1950s. The first president of the National Association of Colored Women and a founding member of the NAACP, Terrell collaborated closely with the likes of Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, and W. E. B. Du Bois. Unceasing Militant is the first full-length biography of Terrell, bringing her vibrant voice and personality to life. Though most accounts of Terrell focus almost exclusively on her public activism, Alison M. Parker also looks at the often turbulent, unexplored moments in her life to provide a more complete account of a woman dedicated to changing the culture and institutions that perpetuated inequality throughout the United States. Drawing on newly discovered letters and diaries, Parker weaves together the joys and struggles of Terrell's personal, private life with the challenges and achievements of her public, political career, producing a stunning portrait of an often-under recognized political leader.

The Vortex
Author: Michael Voris
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780998958101
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 268
Book Description
"Michael Voris was born in 1961, within a year of the beginning of the Second Vatican Council. The Council produced an air of excitement that was quickly labeled the "Spirit of Vatican II," and in the ensuing fifty years, using the "Spirit" as a cover, the Faith was dismantled and attacked on all fronts by faithless clergy and religious aching for change. This is the Church that Voris and tens of millions of other Catholics grew up in--a Church afraid to preach the Faith and focus on salvation as commanded by Jesus Christ. After the death of his mother, Voris returned to the Faith in 2004, making a dramatic turnaround in his life. But the joy of his conversion soon gave way to increasing concerns over what he saw: weak clergy, poor teaching on doctrine, indifferent laity, The Church was in crisis."--Book flap.
