Catholics in the American Century
Over the course of the twentieth century, Catholics, who make up a quarter of the population of the United States, made significant contributions to American culture, politics, and society.

Yet in both scholarly and popular works of history, the distinctive presence and agency of Catholics as Catholics is almost entirely absent. In this book, R.

A long overdue corrective, Catholics in the American Century restores Catholicism to its rightful place in the American story.
