Juxta Crucem: The Life of Basil Anthony Moreau 1799-1873 is a comprehensive biography of the French priest and educator, Basil Anthony Moreau. Written by Gerald M. C. Fitzgerald, the book explores Moreau's life and legacy, from his early years in Brittany to his founding of the Congregation of Holy Cross and his work as a missionary in the United States.Fitzgerald draws on a wide range of primary sources, including Moreau's personal letters and journals, to paint a vivid picture of the man and his times. He describes Moreau's struggles with poverty and illness, his dedication to the education of the poor, and his deep faith and commitment to the Catholic Church.The book also delves into Moreau's relationships with other prominent figures of his time, including Pope Pius IX and the Archbishop of Paris. Fitzgerald explores the political and social context of Moreau's life, including the turbulent years of the French Revolution and the rise of industrialization in the 19th century.Overall, Juxta Crucem offers a compelling portrait of a remarkable figure in Catholic history, whose legacy continues to inspire and guide the Congregation of Holy Cross to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
