Dear Friends,

This will be a fascinating commentary for readers seeking an overview of the character of Catholicism in the United States. The bulk of the commentary is an examination as to how the national character of Catholicism in that country was formed. Australia, as a relatively young nation, like the United States, has some parallels and it is interesting reading this essay to spot them. Professor Swidler concludes with the particular arguments he placed to the audience he was addressing at Old St Mary's Church in Philadephia urging the adoption of a constitution in their parish. <Read Professor Swidler's commentary>

Best wishes for a great day wherever you happen to be ... in life or in our world!
