Two Centuries of Faith: The Influence of Catholicism on Boston, 1808-2008 (review)

More broadly for liturgical-historical studies, Dougherty suggests that the Eucharistic movement and the contemporaneous Liturgical Movement reinforced each other "methodologically and strategically." Gesturing to an important distinction between the two movements' realization of sacramental practice, he notes that one consequence following STS was "an even greater detaching of Communion from the Mass." Additional exposition of this most un-liturgical outcome (according to Liturgical Movement sensibilities) of this most sacramental practice would have allowed Dougherty to flesh out this tenuous relationship. In short, From Altar-Throne to Table provides a much-needed analysis of a critical change in ritual practice during the complex of liturgical reform in the course of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Students of modern Catholic history, Catholic lay movements, and liturgical studies will find Dougherty's work a necessary resource for the history of the frequency of communion in Catholic sacramental practice and informative for the socio-cultural history of American Catholics.
