Catholics were among the early Spanish explorers to the aNew
World, a and they have a long and rich history in the United
States. By taking account of significant letters, diaries,
theological reflections, and other primary documents, we can listen
to the voices of what real Catholics in this country have thought,
believed, feared, and dreamed.
American Catholic History makes available original documents
produced in North America from the earliest missionary voyages in
the sixteenth century up to the present day. The texts have been
selected to illuminate the complex history, beliefs, and practices
of what has become North American Roman Catholicism. They are
prefaced by brief editorial introductions which provide historical
and biographical context for the texts. They illuminate broad
themes in the development of the tradition, from its grappling with
new frontiers to its long-time status as outside mainstream
culture, and from its intellectual life and political engagement to
patterns of worship and spirituality.
American Catholic Historyoffers an overview of the American
Catholic experience from both the atop downa of institutional and
intellectual history as well as from the abottom upa of social,
devotional, womenas and ethnic histories.
