The Last Catholics is a spiritual odyssey fueled by a taboo high school love affair, the bloody war in Vietnam, the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, an unexpected Papal Encyclical which all unfold and are balanced by the author's success at the University of Notre Dame, a love of motorcycles, and his marriage to his high school girlfriend during the tumultuous year of 1968, which the author calls "one of the happiest years in his life." The author's journey into Catholicism began as a young altar boy and continued through high school, Notre Dame, fatherhood, high school teaching, coaching and finally Catholic high school principalships. The story takes a look at the Catholic Church in America from the inside and the outside and recounts one of his Catholic high schools where he was principal being named to the Catholic High School Honor Roll by the prestigious Cardinal Newman Society as one of the Top 50 Catholic high schools in America. The book opens and closes with the same question. Will the Catholic Church in America survive or will it become only a religion of the Southern Hemisphere before the end of the 21st Century? Those who came of age during the 1960's will recognize much of this story as their own.
