The literature of the Anglo-Catholic movement. The emphasis on the Liturgy. The monastic orders. especially Father Palmer and the Cowley fathers. Holy Cross. the Benedictines of Nashdom and Three Rivers. the Sisters ofthe Church, SSJE and Orders in the USA. Anglo-Catholicism and Social Concems.

Recall that this was the time ofthe Depression and the fear of Communism - which by the way carried over a long time after (Feast of the Purification incident*).
