Four thousand Irish-born and Irish-seminary educated priests have served in the United States and nearly 1,250 are currently affiliated with American dioceses. The Irish-Catholic upbringing of these priests, along with their Irish education, immigrant status, and missionary spirit, distinguish them from American-born priests. These priests have left an indelible mark in the U.S. primarily by staffing Catholic parishes in the South, West, and Southwest. They are, however, a vanishing subculture due to an increasing mortality rate and the dearth of vocations to the priesthood in Ireland. This book is the beginning of a much-needed discussion about the experiences and beliefs of Irish priests. It provides a cultural analysis of these men, including an examination of the diverse and oftentimes contradictory sides they find themselves on, regarding philosophical, theological, and pastoral issues. The book is based on archival and survey research that has revealed numerous letters and other documents. Survey research conducted in the 1990s, examines the priests' thoughts on seminary education, ethnicity, satisfaction with the priesthood, ecclesiological and theological concerns, and Vatican II.

It contains the stories Micromegas Returns: Reality Siriusly Reconsidered and Specialist Dilbert at the Pearly Gates: A Robot's Near-Death Experience. Micromegas Returns is a story based upon the 18th century French satirist Voltaire, whose main character, Micromegas, returns to Earth from Sirius after more than 200 years in order to see how much life has changed here. As for what s/he finds after landing in Catatonia . . . Specialist Dilbert at the Pearly Gates is another story from Catatonia. While minding his own business, he gets shot by two rednecks and pays a visit to the 'Pearly Gates', as it were. Is this a normal experience for a robot?
