Synopsis

This book presents the speeches, letters, and sermons of Archbishop Hughes, an influential figure during the mid-19th century in the United States. The book provides insights into the challenges and controversies faced by the Catholic Church during this period, including the debate over the Common School System and the rise of anti-Catholic sentiments. The author's heroic championship of his people's rights, defense of their faith, and advocacy for education and social justice are presented against the backdrop of a rapidly changing nation. This book not only offers a valuable chronicle of Archbishop Hughes' life and contributions but also illuminates the broader historical context in which he lived and fought for religious freedom, equality, and the well-being of all Americans, regardless of creed or origin.
