According to numerous scholars and pundits, JFK's victory in 1960
symbolized America's evolution from a politically Protestant nation
to a pluralistic one. The anti-Catholic prejudice that many blamed
for presidential candidate Alfred E. Smith's crushing defeat in
1928 at last seemed to have been overcome. However, if the
presidential election of 1960 was indeed a turning point for
American Catholics, how do we explain the failure of any
Catholic--in over forty years--to repeat Kennedy's accomplishment?
In this exhaustively researched study that fuses political,
cultural, social, and intellectual history, Thomas Carty challenges
the assumption that JFK's successful campaign for the presidency
ended decades, if not centuries, of religious and political
tensions between American Catholics and Protestants.
