Francis, Repair My Church. John Edgar Raub

Francis, Repair My Church - John Edgar Raub

Author John Raub's twenty-eight years as a monk changed him, sharpening his eye to see more deeply into situations with a perspective that welcomes debate, for controversy invites thought.
Pope Francis Revives Vatican II is of interest not just to Catholics, but to all Americans. Drawing on Raub's monastic experience, it offers readers startling insight into the Holocaust, presidents Roosevelt and Eisenhower, Senator Joseph McCarthy, the John Birch Society, the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War–including Raub's first-hand experience administering to the victims of the Kent State shootings–homosexuality, Obamacare, the Tea Party, the rise of hate groups, and the source of Vladimir Putin's dislike of the West.
The book features a personal letter from President Obama and an analysis of Adlai Stevenson's opinion of Norman Vincent Peale.
