What does it mean to be compassionate? How does it go beyond merely caring for others? The last several years in America have seen a sharp decline in compassion.

The result is the single best overview of scholarship on Catholicism in early modern Europe, delivered in a pithy, lucid, and entertaining style. Althoug...
