Church of Spies | Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark
 Calling upon a wealth of primary sources, Brian Regan describes in a compelling narrative the cathedralâs almost century-long history. He traces the project to its origins in the late 1850s and the great expectations held by the projectâs prime moversâall passionate about Gothic architecture and immensely proud of Newarkâthat never wavered despite numerous setbacks and challenges. Construction did not begin until 1898 and, when completed in 1954, the cathedral became New Jerseyâs largest churchâand the most expensive Catholic church ever built in America. During Pope John Paul IIâs visit to the United States in 1995, he celebrated evening prayer at the Cathedral. On that occasion, the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart was elevated to a basilica to become the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart.
 Meticulously researched, Gothic Pride brings to life the people who built, contributed to, and worshipped in Sacred Heart, recalling such remarkable personalities as George Hobart Doane, Jeremiah OâRourke, Gonippo Raggi, and Archbishop Thomas Walsh. In many ways, the cathedralâs story is a lens that lets us look at the history of Newark itselfâits rise as an industrial city and its urban culture in the nineteenth century; its transformation in the twentieth century; its immigrants and the profound effects of their cultures, especially their religion, on American life; and the power of architecture to serve as a symbol of community values and pride..
