This volume in the American Religious Experience series chronicles
the history and present situation of the Catholic Church and the
American Catholic subculture in the United States. Catholics have
had a long history in America, and they have often had conflicting
demands - should they remain loyal to the authority of the pope in
Rome, or should they become more accommodating to American culture
and society? The Catholic Experience in America combines
historical, sociological, philosophical, and theological and
religious scholarship to provide the reader with an overview of the
general trends of American Catholic history, without
over-simplifying the complex nature of that history. The Catholic
Experience in America examines many different aspects of what it's
like to be a Catholic in United States today: Discusses the
diversity of Catholicism within the Church, including the issues of
race, ethnicity, and gender BLAddresses major turning points in
American Catholic history, and how they have affected the everyday
experience of American Catholics, such as immigration and nativism,
the separation of church and state, and the election of John
Kennedy as president. BLExamines how the Church has handled such
contemporary issues as homosexuality, birth control and abortion,
and religious education Provides a historical analysis of the rise
and fall of a Catholic subculture capable of providing a Catholic
religious identity in America The volume includes several
appendices to further the readers understanding of the Catholic
experience in America, including brief discussions of key documents
and Church organizations, a glossary of terms, and basic
demographic and statistical information.
