#1 How Reformists and Traditionalists Drove Catholic History

How does a better understanding of Catholicism enhance our understanding of the modern world? Beginning with the French Revolution, John McGreevy helps us understand the path the Church has taken over the last two centuries and the complex role the Church has played as both a shaper and follower in global politics. By understanding our history, we may better understand how to approach the challenges we are facing today.

He is the author of several books including “Catholicism: A Global History from the French Revolution to Pope Francis” and “American Jesuits and the World: How an Embattled Religious Order Made Modern Catholicism Global.” Follow him on Twitter @john_t_mcgreevy
