- Synopsis
- Living Stones was written from the perspective of a historian who experienced the changes in the community from 1950 to 1970, and who observed, suffered, enjoyed, and asked the questions peculiar to that particular post-World War II generation. If one experience was uppermost, it was that many of the participants in those changes experienced not simply the loss of this or that aspect of Catholic self-identity and practice (e.g. abstinence on Friday, the collapse of particular devotions, an increasing pluralism in the interpretation of the Church's moral norms), but the dissolution of a structure of belief, the collapse of a home constructed out of abstract principles, and a "scholasticism of the heart."
