Highlights challenges faced by the Catholic Church

You will enjoy a unique perspective on faith and change

This collection of cartoons captures the spirit of the Sixties in the British Catholic Church.

Better known as the creator of the BBC television series Captain Pugwash, John Ryan (1921–2009), through his weekly illustrations in the Catholic Herald, offered a topical interrogation of the British Catholic Church's sometimes adaptive, though often inflexible responses to the changes and challenges of the period. This collection of Ryan's cartoons provides a personal portrait of the extraordinary ups and downs of religion in the Sixties—encompassing the machinations of popes and cardinals, the testimony of expert witnesses, runaway priests, radical reformists and lay protest movements.
