From 1751-1820, Saint Clement Maria Hofbauer lived a paradox -- a controversial agent for change, yet a friend to all. This book delves into the complex life of Saint Clement in all its contradictions. It's an insightful portrait of a man known for his impetuous personality, outspokenness, and perceived eccentricity as well as his missions of mercy and message of faith. Born into an anti-clerical, anti-religious century, Saint Clement stood tall in the face of political opposition and government blacklisting to create the Catholic Reform Movement.
