Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This volume presents a detailed account of the political outlook and activities of the Roman Catholic clergy, nationally and in the localities, during the 15 years after the Treaty. The author discusses the clerical response to the Treaty, the involvement of bishops and priests in pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty politics, their dealings with Fianna Fail, and the fundamentalist Republicans of the left and right, and the Northern state.
