4.9/5 (10759 ratings)

Description:This bicentennial history of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati illuminates the rich story of Catholicism's foundations and expansion from the Great Lakes to the Ohio River.In 1821, Edward Dominic Fenwick was appointed to lead a new diocese that included all of Ohio and much of the Northwest Territory. Here, the Church encountered a sparsely settled landscape―with Native Americans, descendants of French fur traders, and newly arrived settlers. Traveling missionaries, most of whom did not speak English, overcame hardship and misunderstanding to offer the Gospel to the Western frontier.As the nineteenth century continued, Catholics formed a vibrant subculture that prized separatism but protected language and faith. Immigrants from Ireland, Germany, and Italy swelled cities, organized towns, and built churches, bringing with them an Old World faith forged through the New World challenges of poverty and discrimination.The region's Catholic presence came of age in the twentieth century, creating an unparalleled educational and charitable network. Schools, hospitals, children's homes, and welfare centers strengthened communities as the Church embraced outreach to non-Catholics and minority groups.This book, through a series of vignettes, explores the people and places of the the zeal of Father Stephen T. Badin, who brought the sacraments to Native Americans on the land that is today the University of Notre Dame; the witness of Archbishop John B. Purcell, who courageously spoke against slavery; the vision of pioneer social worker Margaret McCabe, who established boys' and girls' homes in Cincinnati; and the Italian-born Sister of Charity Blandina Segale, who served immigrants and whose cause for sainthood is advancing.This is the story of Catholic life and leadership in one of the nation's oldest and most illustrious dioceses, the legacy of two hundred years of the Catholic faith in Southwest Ohio and beyond.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
