Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. 1st Edition. Moore, Brian. Catholics : a novel. Toronto: McClelland and Stewart Limited, 1972. First Canadian edition. Hardback, VG, in Good, unclipped, dustjacket with light shelfwear and a few small nicks, the white background a little age-discoloured in places. Cream cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. Green endpapers. Gift inscription to ffep. 107pp., contents clean and bright. Most of the action of the novel takes place on an island monastery off the southwest coast of Ireland. It is set in the future, near the end of the twentieth century after the Second Vatican Council. The story tells of a young priest sent by the authorities in Rome to fully implement Church reforms in an Irish monastery that still celebrates the Catholic liturgy according to older rites. The young priest, James Kinsella, is initially opposed by the Abbot of the monastery, who tries to preserve his and his monks' way of life. However, the Abbot eventually recognizes the need for?and inevitability of?change. The novel comes to a head when a confrontation between the Abbot and a senior monk, Matthew, nearly undermines the structure of the monastery. The Abbot is plagued by his own doubts in matters of faith. The novel ends on an ambiguous note as the Abbot prays for the first time in years, but in the face of the abandonment of their traditional way of life.
