Overview
Ā
In Rome, surrendering to secular pressures, the Fourth Vatican Council is stirring a revolution with their official denial of the churchās core doctrines. Theyāve abolished clerical dress and private confession; the Eucharist is recognized only as an outdated symbol; and theyāre merging with the tenets of Buddhism. Theyāre also unsettled by the blind faith of devout pilgrims from around the world congregating on a remote island monastery in Irelandāthe last spot on earth where Catholic traditions are defiantly alive. At the behest of the Vatican, Father James Kinsella has been dispatched to Muck Abbey with an ultimatum: Adhere to the new church or suffer the consequences.
Ā
But in Abbot TomĆ”s OāMalley, Kinsella finds less an adversary than a man of bewildering contradictionsāunyieldingly bound to his vows, yet long-questioning his devotion to God. Now, between Kinsella and OāMalley comes an unexpected challenge that will reveal their truths, their purpose, their faith, and their doubt.

āTold with .Ā .Ā . superb grace and wit,ā Catholics was adapted by Brian Moore for the 1973 film starring Martin Sheen and Trevor Howard (The New Yorker).
