Sommario/riassunto

While changing cultural sensibilities have made it ever less acceptable to express sterotypical views about most ethnic or religious groups in America, this volume reveals that there is one glaring exception - the Catholic Church. Jenkins exposes the widespread anti-Catholicism in America & what has caused it.
