At a time when many Polish Americans were disenchanted with the Irish-dominated American Catholic hierarchy, the PRCUA was a bastion of loyalty to the Church and was America's largest Polish-Catholic loyalist organization. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on a tradition of Catholic positivism, the PRCUA dedicated itself to work on behalf of impoverished immigrants, caring for their physical, moral, educational, and social needs within the framework of the local parish-community. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Eagle and the Cross\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive, English-language history of this important and often overlooked fraternal organization. Lavishly illustrated, the book tells the story of the men and women, laity and clergy, who built and sustained the PRCUA from 1873 to today. It restores this key organization to its rightful place in the history of Polish Americans and reaffirms the central role of Catholicism in the history and culture of this important ethnic group.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Radzilowski\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0880335203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780880335201\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e East European Monographs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 6.38w x 1.63d","brand":"John Radzilowski","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48437841002751,"sku":"9780880335201","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c88bc480-f034-4d43-9b21-2f66bb5e442d.jpg?v=1777167127","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-eagle-the-cross-john-radzilowski-9780880335201","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
