Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Two Kenricks I have felt for a long time that we ought to have biographies of the two great prelates who pre-eminently deserve the title of Fathers of the American Church, in the sense in which this title is bestowed on the Fathers of the Universal Church in different nations and ages. In profound learning and sanctity united these remarkable brothers stand alone. Like all really great and holy ecclesiastics, they shrank from publicity, except when that publicity was necessary or advisable for the defense of the Church or the furtherance of her interests. In spite of this modesty - or rather perhaps because of it - their fame has grown and deepened with time and shall continue to do so as the Church in America continues in her triumphal progress. Their example of devotedness to duty, of the union of the spirit of piety and study with most active public duties, should not be lost to the present and succeeding generations of priests and people. Their lives form an important portion of the history of the Catholic Church in these States, and therefore should interest all who would understand that history. It was the writer´s ambition, at one time, to be the biographer of these two great ecclesiastics. His numerous duties caused him to postpone the task until diminished strength and advanced years rendered it unadvisable, if not impossible. He had ample opportunities of acquaintance with the illustrious subjects of such a biography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
