Publisher's Description
In this book I have tried to raise the awareness of mainly working Catholics regarding the spiritual pitfalls of excessive nationalism. Nationalism in this book is not synonymous with patriotism. Nationalism, carried to its natural conclusion, amounts to the "de facto worship" of the nation state. In our current state of collective anxiety, we can and will be easily victimized.

“This powerful, reasonable, and insightful book invites us to reject nationalism and the culture of violence and war, become more authentic disciples of Jesus and adherents of gospel nonviolence, and pledge allegiance to the God of peace as citizens of God’s reign of universal love and total nonviolence. Thank you, John Jerpe, for your wake-up call urging us to turn back to the gospel of Jesus and his way of peace and nonviolence.”
