The Roman Catholics have a long and storied history in the United
States. From colonial times to the present, this group has seen its
share of ups and downs, and has recently come under heated and
extensive scrutiny. There is, however, a richer and more interesting
history to this important denomination, and Carey details it here.
Beginning with an overview of the transplanting of this faith into the
New World, the author then details the extensive involvement this
community has had in civil and political affairs, social and cultural
milieus, and family and everyday life. Focusing on the people and
events that have shaped Roman Catholicism in the United States, this
broad history introduces readers to a vital American community.
Beginning with a narrative history of Catholics and Catholicism in
America, Carey brings the discussion through to current times,
addressing the recent problems in the Church, women's roles, and
responses to terrorism and war. He then goes on to include brief
biographical sketches of important figures in the Church, and offers a
chronology of key events. The result is one of the most comprehensive
histories of Catholics in America available.
