ROMAN VIRTUES - LISA M EDWARDS GEBUNDEN

Over the last half of the nineteenth and the first half of the twentieth centuries  rising
secular liberalism led many Catholic Church leaders in Latin America and Rome to believe that
the Church was in a state of crisis. As a solution  they focused on improving clerical
education by reforming Latin American seminaries and by sending the best students to the
Colegio Pío Latino Americano in Rome. This book examines the experiences of young clerics in
Rome and the effects of their Roman education on their home dioceses after their return. Roman
Virtues contributes to our understanding of the role of the Catholic Church in Latin American
society and the relationships between local Latin American churches and the papacy during the
nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
