Fr. Hollenbach, continuing his lifelong commitment to articulate Catholic human rights theology, has brought together essayists "in the trenches" of forced migration. I am especially interested, a an Arizona resident, in Part V. which addresses the claims of economic migrants.

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2011
I'm going to have to say at the beginning of this review that the title RECLAIMING CATHOLICISM: TREASURES OLD AND NEW is somewhat misleading. Many of the contributors could be among a who's who of Catholicism, so the insights and entries are excellent, but the title, along with a summary by the publisher, made me think it was almost a "how to" to bring back some of the distinctive Catholic practices that have been lost since Vatican II, and to do so in a way that is not a nostalgic trip but a concrete way to make some of what is lost a vital part of the spiritual lives of people today. That's not exactly what I found in these pages though I did find the book helpful, informative, and enjoyable.
Most of the authors share a memory of their faith from childhood, and in most of the cases, the memory would be prior to Vatican II. Family rosaries, first confessions, devotion to Mary, praying to the saints, Catholic schools, stories of the priests and nuns all populate the essays found in this book. What the book offers is an appreciation of what the devotions and practices had to offer rather than a critique or an attempt at humor which can be all too common when reflecting on the Church of old. Some authors do advocate returning to some of the practices, but overall what I gained from reading the essays was an appreciation of how these practices touched the hearts and lives of the writers, and having this knowledge can be helpful when planning parish events, writing a homily or bulletin column or examining pastoral practices. The voices of the contributors vary as do their perspectives, which make for interesting reading. As far as the contributors are concerned, there is a strong academic bend and there are representatives from the hierarchy, neither of which is problematic, but an inclusion of a wider variety of voices might have been helpful.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and know I will reread many of the essays. For those who may be looking for a title similar to the one I thought I was going to read, I did notice as I first looked at the Amazon page that listed this book that the section that says "Customers who bought this item also bought" and listed Scott Hahn's SIGNS OF LIFE: FORTY CATHOLIC CUSTOMS AND TEHIR BIBLICAL ROOTS as one of the titles. To me this book was more in keeping with what the title of REDISCOVERING CATHOLICISM and the publisher's summary portrayed. The Hahn title may be more of a resource for pastoral planning, but REDOISCOVERINGG CATHOLICISM is a good read for anyone who wants to get an appreciation of the faith and devotional life of Catholics prior to Vatican II.

What we have gained, what we have lost, what we might consider reclaiming.
Sadly some essays fail to fufill their brief, but a good window on the Catholic Church prior to Vatican II
