Distinguished historian Leslie Tentler explores lay religious practice and the impact of clergy on Catholic life and culture as she seeks to answer the question, What did it mean to be a “good Catholic” at particular times and in particular places? In its focus on Catholics' participation in American politics and Catholic intellectual life, this book includes in-depth discussions of Catholics, race, and the Civil War; Catholics and public life in the twentieth century; and Catholic education and intellectual life. Shedding light on topics of recent interest such as the role of Catholic women in parish and community life, Catholic reproductive ethics regarding birth control, and the Catholic church sex abuse crisis, this engaging history provides an up-to-date account of the history of American Catholicism.CatholicsUnited StatesHistoryCatholicsUnited StatesIntellectual lifeUnited StatesfastCatholicsHistory.CatholicsIntellectual life.282.73Tentler Leslie Woodcock250719MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826576703321American Catholics3982168UNINA
