This course will examine the relationship between Catholicism and democracy, placing particular stress on their revelance to contemporary American public life. In this context, Catholicism will be understood not only as a religious institution, but as the source of a tradition of communitarian social and political thought, while democracy will be understood not only as a form of government, but also as an ethos shaping American society. Authors and texts will include Alexis de Toucqueville, Orestes Brownson, Dorothy Day, John Courtney Murray, and relevant documents from Vatican II and the American hierarchy. The historic tension between Catholicism and democracy will be the subject of our conversation as will the possibilities for greater harmony between them. In particular, we will explore the possibility that Catholicism's communitarian orientation might serve as a corrective to American individualism and consumerism, while democratic institutions and practices might have something to offer Catholicism. 4.000 Credit Hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Seminar Undergraduate Colleges College American Catholic Studies Department

This course engages the question of what it means to be both "ethnic" and "Catholic" in America and explores the ways in which these primary aspects of indentity influence the work of writers affiliated with three of the most visible European Catholic ethnic groups that immigrated to the United States in the early 20th Century: the Irish, the Italians, and the Polish. Students will read memoir, fiction, and poetry by representative writers from each group, including work of J.T. Farrell, Elizabeth Cullinan, Don DeBello, Helen Barolini, Czeslaw Milosz and Adam Zagajewski. Through selected historical and critical readings, we will attempt to create a descriptive narrative of what happens when writers wrestle with ethnic and Catholic identity in the context of the 20th century political and economic struggle in America, a predominantly White-Anglo-Saxon-Protestant society, and a growing culture of unbelief. 4.000 Credit Hours Levels: Undergraduate, Post Baccalaureate Schedule Types: Seminar Undergraduate Colleges College American Catholic Studies Department
