Everyman Today Call Rome

Very good

Was a good read. I learned more about how certain events led to Vatican 2.

A short, concise essay on how we got into this mess.

Every Man today calls Rome provides a good overview of the current crisis in the church, both in regards to it's origins and the situation as it lay when the book was written in the late 1980s. The book helps shed light on a lot of things that the average person, especially among Catholics, would not pick up in high school or collegiate history courses. The only fault I can think of is that the book could be much longer, especially in it's explanation of the catholic faith. (The view of history herein outlined could and probably should fill tomes) But Charles instead keeps focus and succeeds in his goal of explaining the current situation in the church. For this reason I feel it deserves five stars, unless you are an expert I think everyone could glean something from the pages of Coulombe's work.

Wonderful Read

Very informative book on the history of the Church and why we as Catholics are where we are today. Still holds up after 35 years.
