Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catholic Footsteps in Old New York: A Chronicle of Catholicity in the City of New York From 1524 to 1808 Herein is chronicled the coming of Catholics to what is now the Western Metropolis between the years 1524 and 1808. The following pages set forth the manner of men they were, the reasons for their coming and some of the things they observed, what they accomplished and what some of them suffered. The history of the long narrow island between the East and North rivers is interwoven, because of these visitors, settlers or captives, with the histories of the whole Western hemisphere, and of England, Ireland, Scotland, France, Spain, Italy, Holland, Germany and Africa. He who attempts to tell the story of Catholicity in New York must wander far afield and gather cubes from many lands to construct the wondrous mosaic pictures of its rise, its progress and its present greatness. On the threshold of life the men and women whose careers are recorded herein received Catholic baptism. A few won the martyr´s crown, the lives of others were saintly, many were faithful to the end, an appalling number, because of a lack of spiritual succor in the early days, lost the Faith, and some others, among them a few who should have been "leaders in Israel," became a reproach to their forebears.
