This book provides a balanced and up-to-date analysis of Catholicism in Britain and France by leading experts on various aspects of the faith in the two hundred years since the French Revolution. By focusing on two countries whose religious establishment and experience were markedly different, and by adopting a comparative approach, the book is able to offer a fresh and unusual perspective on the challenges facing the Catholic Church in the modern world and on its impact not only on believers but also on the two societies as a whole.
