In his new book, Joseph Stafford examines the impact of Vatican II on secondary religious education in Ontario. Starting with an examination of pre-Vatican II education, Stafford traces the shifts in approaches to education through the 'long sixties,' and into the late 1970s, as Catholic schools struggled to deal with the pervasive influence of secularism and the collapse of the Catholic classicist culture.

How did the Irish stay Irish? Why are Irish and Catholic still so often synonymous in the English-speaking world? Ireland's Empire is the first book to examine the complex relationship between Irish migrants and Roman Catholicism in the nineteenth century on a truly global basis. Drawing on more than 100 archives on five continents, Colin Barr traces the spread of Irish Roman Catholicism across the English-speaking world and explains how the Catholic Church became the vehicle for Irish diasporic identity in the United States, Australia, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, Newfoundland, and India between 1829 and 1914.
