Roman Catholicism in the United States: A Thematic History takes
the reader beyond the traditional ways scholars have viewed and
recounted the story of the Catholic Church in America. The
collection covers unfamiliar topics such as anti-Catholicism, rural
Catholicism, Latino Catholics, and issues related to the
establishment of diplomatic relations between the Vatican and the
U.S. government. The book continues with fascinating discussions on
popular culture (film and literature), women religious, and the
work of U.S. missionaries in other countries. The final section of
the books is devoted to Catholic social teaching, tackling
challenging and sometimes controversial subjects such as the
relationship between African American Catholics and the Communist
Party, Catholics in the civil rights movement, the abortion debate,
issues of war and peace, and Vatican II and the American Catholic
Church. Roman Catholicism in the United States examines the history
of U.S. Catholicism from a variety of perspectives that transcend
the familiar account of the immigrant, urban parish, which served
as the focus for so many American Catholics during the nineteenth
and first half of the twentieth centuries.
