What is The American priest, by Rev. George T. Schmidt... about?

Rev. Schmidt addresses the primary responsibilities and concerns of an American Catholic priest serving in a parish in the early twentieth century. He discusses aspects of the priest's personal life including balancing study and friendships in the rectory, loyalty, cleanliness, order and kindness. The author offers guidelines for preaching, visiting the homes of parishioners, making sick calls, acting as financial manager, serving as superintendent of the parochial school, and promoting Christian education in the parish. He is called to defend the poor and to work for social justice in the wider community. Schmidt describes the moral degradation of American society due to the influences of socialism, Bolshevism, and Humanistic worldliness. He says that America can only be saved from moral destruction by reverence for God, exemplified by the priest, especially through adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
