After the 1572 revolt against Spain, the new Dutch Republic outlawed Catholic worship and secularized church property. Calvinism prevailed as the public faith, yet Catholicism experienced a resurgence in the first half of the 17th century. In a wide-ranging analysis of a marginalized yet vibrant minority, Parker examines this remarkable revival.
