Meer over het boek

Father John Dubois, an exiled French priest, played a pivotal role in establishing significant Catholic institutions in America. Revered by notable figures such as St. Elizabeth Seton and Pope Gregory XVI, he earned the nickname "Little Bonaparte" from his students. His leadership and dedication often led to tensions with his Bishop, who felt he acted more like a bishop than a parish priest. The book highlights Dubois's influential legacy and the relationships he cultivated within the American Catholic community.
