A selection of the Literary Guild, it was published in more than a dozen languages and sold over two million copies. Later made into an Academy Award-nominated film directed by Otto Preminger and starring John Huston, the book tells a story that captured the nation's attention: a working-class American's rise to become a cardinal of the Catholic Church. The daily trials and triumphs of Stephen Fermoyle, from the working-class suburbs of Boston, drive him to become first a parish priest, then secretary to a cardinal, later a bishop, and finally a wearer of the Red Hat. An essential work of American fiction that is newly relevant with the ordination of New York's Timothy Dolan as cardinal, Henry Morton Robinson's novel is back in print by popular demand.… (mehr)

A long novel about the career of a Catholic priest. He becomes a Prince of the church. It is not terribly interesting. At the time it seemed to be a poor tradeoff for the celibacy. ( )

When reading this book I had to continually consider the age it was written in. But what was so frustrating - time in the Catholic Church stands still in regard to a woman's role as a catholic and contraception. I also was stunned to read in these pages how the dwindling numbers of catholics attending church - which meant fewer dollars for the church - fell solely on the woman's right to choose and not have more than 2 or 3 kids. The church wanted those big families back to fill the church and their coffers. I never thought about that aspect. Even though this is a novel, my bet is all those men only thought about the money. Not how poor and possibly less educated women who can't afford a large family would benefit from a smaller family - both monetarily and for better health. I did read the entire book, but did much 'skimming' toward the end. ( )

A fictional, but highly accurate, view of the Church in the first half of the Twentieth Century. Absolute mastery of the English language. ( )

What was intriguing and mildly exciting when I was 23 or so becomes tiresome at 70, since a lifetime of books and experience have altered my views.
Stephen Fermoyle is an Irish Catholic priest from Boston, with all the trite family life one might expect.
He makes astonishingly rapid progress through the ranks, as the title might indicate. Brilliant and wise, touchingly human, impossibly good; Stephen is sometimes a big fat bore.
And the same can be said if this long book. It’s interesting as a period piece, but has nothing to say, and is unrealistic at best. ( )
