Envisioning Catholic Colonial Order --Conclusion: Imperial Church Stories --Notes --Bibliography --IndexThrough a fascinating discussion of religion's role in the rhetoric of American civilizing empire, this book undertakes an exploration of how Catholic mission histories served as a useful reference for Americans narrating U.S. settler colonialism on the North American continent and seeking to extend military, political, and cultural power around the world. The text traces historical celebrations of Catholic missionary histories in the upper Midwest, Southern California, and the U.S. colonial Philippines to demonstrate the improbable centrality of the Catholic missions to ostensibly Protestant imperial endeavors.United States in the world.Cornell scholarship online.Anti-CatholicismUnited StatesHistoryUnited StatesHistoryReligious aspectsCatholic ChurchUnited StatesTerritorial expansionHistoriographyPhilippinesHistoryReligious aspectsCatholic ChurchUnited StatesHistory1865-1921Catholicism, Empire, Calfifornia, Midwest, Philippines, Civilization.Anti-CatholicismHistory.325/.320973Moran Katherine D.1977-1544067StDuBDSStDuBDSBOOK9910794159603321The imperial Church3797964UNINA
