133. Catholics Against Alcohol?

Throughout the 19th century, and into the early 20th century, a popular temperance movement swept across America and Western Europe which sought to end the consumption of alcohol.

 

In America, this movement peaked with the passage of the 18th Amendment, which prohibited the manufacture, sale, and transportation of alcohol.

In this episode Scott covers the Catholic Temperance movement and Fr Theobald Matthew, the “Apostle of Temperance”.
