Faith of Our Fathers traces the historical journey of American
Catholics from a minority despised by the founding fathers to a
valuable and accepted part of the American tapestry today. Author
Edward Mannino, an historian and lawyer, demonstrates how Catholics
have continuously functioned as a conscience in the broader
American society, and surveys the contributions Catholics have made
in the arts, in politics, in law, and in education and public
health. Faith of Our Fathers contains chapters on Flannery
O'Connor, Thomas Merton, Fulton Sheen, Bruce Springsteen, Denise
Levertov and John Berryman in the arts; Al Smith, Michael
Harrington, and Robert Kennedy in politics; Catholic Supreme Court
justices in law; and American nuns in education and public health.
The book ends with a chapter on the portrayal of American Catholics
in popular culture, showing how movies and television programs from
the mid twentieth century through the present reflect a growing
appreciation of the Catholic presence in America.
