Produktbeschreibung

'Three More Archbishops of Milwaukee' profiles Samuel A. Stritch, Moses E. Kiley, and Albert G. Meyer, who led Milwaukee's Catholic archdiocese from 1930 to 1958. Though distinct in personality and leadership style, all three were shaped by their Roman seminary training, which reflected a unified Catholic culture. Stritch dealt with the Great Depression's financial challenges; Kiley managed post-war prosperity, rebuilding efforts, and clergy discipline; and Meyer oversaw rapid parish expansion. Despite their differences, their theological views provided stability during a period of significant change in Milwaukee Catholicism, as ethnic identity shifted, and suburbanization took hold. Steven M. Avella is a professor emeritus of Marquette University and priest of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He has authored several books on the history of Catholicism in Wisconsin, including In the Richness of the Earth: A History of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee 1843-1958, and Confidence and Crisis: A History of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, 1959-1977, and edited Milwaukee Catholicism: Essays on Church and Community (1991). He has also authored books on the history of Catholic life in Chicago, Sacramento, Reno, Colorado Springs, and Phoenix. Avella has conducted research in the Archives of the Archdioceses of Milwaukee and Chicago, and the Apostolic Vatican Archives. A graduate of the University of Notre Dame (Ph.D., 1985), he studied under the late Professor Philip Gleason. He served as President of the American Catholic Historical Association (2009-2010).
