Book Description
Reveals that in the years immediately after the National Party's victory in 1948, the Catholic Church adopted an essential conciliatory approach. This was an attempt to mollify the secular power, which openly espoused the Roomse-gevaar mentality of the Dutch Reformed Churches. Examines the crucial decade after 1948, during which the Church moved from appeasement to resistance, and analyzes the motivations and forces which finally drove the Church to make the choice it did--a choice which has served to define and determine its future development in South Africa.
