In this exploration of the Church's most recent history, Catholic author David Wagner dispels the commonly held myths and misconceptions that color how we understand our own times, highlights the lives and contributions of modern popes and great saints, and charts the challenges the Church has faced-within and without-during this period of dramatic change."-- Provided by publisher.
