(paperback, Loyola Classics)
160 pages
Catholics by Brian Moore is set on a harsh, barren island off the coast of Ireland. On this island stands Muck Abbey, the last spot on earth where the traditional Latin Mass is still celebrated by Catholics after the reforms of the Fourth Vatican Council. A television special has brought new attention and large crowds to the activities on the island, to the displeasure of church officials. Father James Kinsella is sent to put a stop to things, but his confrontation with the monks, especially the blunt Abbot O’Malley, will reveal unexpected, challenging truths about all of them in this evocative novel of faith—and doubt—by Brian Moore.

“Catholics” is a short novel by Brian Moore which even in its brevity plumbs the depths of that two part question. What is our relationship with God? How do we respond to Someone who speaks so quietly, and who sometimes is silent for years? Moore is a Catholic writer and author whose book is about a group of Irish monks on a lonely island off the coast of Ireland who still celebrate the old Mass in Latin. It is a scandal to those who want to change things, to bring the Catholic Church into the modern world. The action takes place in the middle of a monastic community during one short day, and compresses in that time a couple of thousand years of thought and experience. Whether you are interested in the life of monks in community, historical novels as a genre, religious themed fiction or stories about faith stripped bare, “Catholics” will grip you for all these reasons. It is, in its own way, a modern parable, as all good novels should be, in a world much in need of the truths contained in parables. “Catholics” is a classic of short fiction; a novel about our response in faith to the problems and questions which are most important in our lives. An “historical” novel set in modern times whose main characters, priests and monks, could be you and me.
