Description

"This book gives a detailed account of the political outlook and activities of the Roman Catholic clergy, nationally and in the localities, during the fifteen years after the Treaty. Patrick Murray examines and assesses the clerical response to the Treaty, the involvement of bishops and priests in pro-Treaty and anti-Treaty politics, their dealings with Fianna Fail, the fundamentalist Republicans of the left and right, and the Northern state. The author draws on a wide range of hitherto unexplored archival and other documentary material, and on the expertise of local historians and scholars."--BOOK JACKET.
