Against the Tide
Against the Tide is the memoirs of the most outstanding lay figure of Australian Social Catholicism, B. A. Santamaria. With Archbishop Daniel Mannix, he led the Catholic Social Movement from its founding in 1936 through its 1950s reorganization into today’s National Civic Council. His memoirs look at the 20th-century landscape of Catholic socio-political activity in Australia, and sketch the history of what became universally known in Australia as simply “the Movement.” His work and achievements constitute a forceful example of a fruitful collaboration between a doctrinally sound clergy and an appropriately (though not absolutely) autonomous laity, engaging the social order on the basis of integral Catholic Social Principles. This IHS acquisition from Australia constitutes, with the other titles in the series, a “case study” in Christian Social Action, detailing the work of the Movement and its leading figures.
