The urban Catholic world familiar to most working class people came under strong attack in the 1960s. McGreevy's book is written largely from an Irish American perspective

The urban Catholic world familiar to most working class people came under strong attack in the 1960s. Some of the attacks which were downright silly are not given close scrutiny by McGreevy. Included in these were assaults on the parochial schools as tools of the middle class and on the parish because of its connection to residential communities. McGreevy's book is written largely from an Irish American perspective. Poles and others are quoted, but mostly as bigoted pastors or racist working class rioters.
