This work chronicles the growth of conservative political thought among American Catholics after World War, led by William F. Buckley and others; the reaction to the tumultuous events of the 1960's; the shattering of Catholic unity by the liberalizing effects of Vatican II and the controversies of the 1970's and 1980's, such as homosexuality and abortion. It also assesses the current conservative faction through their reaction to the Catholic Bishops' 1983 Pastoral Letter on Nuclear Weapons.
