<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>Cartoons by John Ryan, better known as the creator of Captain Pugwash, provide a portrait of the extraordinary ups and downs of religion in the Sixties.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The Sixties was an iconic decade, conjuring images of marked generational conflict and "sex, drugs and rock-n-roll", but also of the Second Vatican Council (1962-5), "permissive" legislation and Britain's counter-culture, as well as the social transformations of a period encompassing ecumenism, the advent of the women's movement and the beginning of the Irish Troubles.</p><p>Better known as the creator of the BBC television series <strong>Captain Pugwash</strong>, John Ryan (1921-2009), through his weekly illustrations in the <em>Catholic Herald</em>, 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.</p>
