Piece Description
James Carroll: National Book Award winner, novelist, columnist for the Boston Globe, friend of Christopher Lydon, and fellow Catholic.
“Americanist” Catholicism — meaning: stamped with Ralph Waldo Emerson’s individualism and universal in-dwelling spirit. Embodied in the Boston priest of JFK’s inaugural, Richard Cardinal Cushing, who was moved by his love of his sister’s Jewish husband, Dick Pearlstein, to bury the old Roman boast that there was “no salvation outside the church.”
He was a Paulist Priest and university chaplain for five years, and was then absolved of his vows to pursue a rival vocation: writing. Jim is a learned radical in religion, ever at odds with the hierarchy, and still “incurably pastoral.”

Excellent
Even though I am not Catholic, he talks how I would like all churches to be today: not judgemental, helping one another and being as selfless as possible.
