Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

This historically oriented course will explore the struggle of Catholics in the United States to integrate being "Roman" with being "American." It will survey the experience of an immigrant, authoritarian church in a country founded on belief in the excellence of Protestantism and dedicated to liberal and democratic ideals. Having arrived in the mainstream with the election of John F. Kennedy, that church now faces a new set of challenges, which will be the final consideration of the course. 1.00 units, Lecture
