This book charts the development of the complex relationship between Roman Catholicism and American conservatism, and it shows how these two seemingly antagonistic ideological groups became intertwined in advancing a certain brand of domestic and international politics. Contrary to the standard narrative, Roman Catholics were some of the most assertive political conservatives directly after World War II, and their brand of politics became one of the most influential means by which Roman Catholicism came to terms with American secular society.Religion and American public life.Cornell scholarship online.Catholic ChurchUnited StatesHistory20th centuryChristianity and politicsUnited StatesHistory20th centuryChristianity and politicsCatholic ChurchHistory20th centuryConservatismUnited StatesHistory20th centuryPolitical conservatism, the rise of American conservatism, conservatism and anti-Communism, Christianity and secularization after World War II, evangelicals and the Republican Party.Catholic ChurchHistoryChristianity and politicsHistoryChristianity and politicsCatholic ChurchHistoryConservatismHistory261.708828273Hart D.
