This Companion provides a comprehensive overview of American
Catholicism's historical development and distinctive features. The
essays - all specially commissioned for this volume - highlight the
inner diversity of American Catholicism and trace the impact of
American Catholics on all aspects of society, including education,
social welfare, politics, and intellectual life. The volume also
addresses topics of contemporary concern, such as gender and
sexuality, arts and culture, social activism, and the experiences
of Black, Latinx, Asian-American, and cultural Catholics. Taken
together, the essays in this Companion provide context for
understanding American Catholicism as it is currently experienced,
and help to situate present-day developments and debates within
their longer trajectory.

In Church and Estate, Thomas Rzeznik examines the lives and
religious commitments of the Philadelphia elite during the period
of industrial prosperity that extended from the late nineteenth
century through the 1920s. The book demonstrates how their
religious beliefs informed their actions and shaped their class
identity, while simultaneously revealing the ways in which
financial influences shaped the character of American religious
life. In tracing those connections, it shows how religion and
wealth shared a fruitful, yet ultimately tenuous, relationship.
