Fire and Roses

Fire And Roses: A Fight For Religious Control Fire and Roses, by Nancy Shultz, was not only a book of a group of women and a targeted convent in the early 19th Century. Furthermore, it was as well a story about faith and fear, love of life, and a lust for selfish control. More importantly, it was a story of people living out there worst and best dreams. One of the major themes that tended to repeat itself throughout the book was this whole notion of selfish control. Not so much a theme, but a major part of the story, disappearance was also a major factor. Selfish control over other religions was one of the major themes. It justly showed how Catholicism was more an act of supremacy, rather than one of religious expansion. It seemed that Catholics in that era were forced, rather than being able to choose what religion they wanted to follow. It seemed that the main reasons for Ursaline nuns come to the United States from Ireland was not only to expand their religion, but also to prosper. Between 1790 and 1829, Ursaline nuns were settling everywhere around the nation, but the ones that stayed were only the ones which prospered. The convent that developed in New York only attracted Americans who could meet the expense of a $2000 dowry, but nobody was able to supply this sum. Therefore, the nuns returned back to Ireland. The Ursaline nuns, like Mary Moffatt, mostly supported the high and well-to-o elite, rather than the poor, hardworking Irish at that time.
