Contents: "This is a collection of documents selected from the Archives of the Archdiocese ... [to] illustrate some of the problems encountered in such areas as education, immigration, non-Roman Catholic neighbors, public concerns and international developments. Each document is introduced by a short commentary that tries to set the document in its historical context by explaining the background of the events and the persons involved in the document itself." -- Pref.
