American Catholics A History, by Leslie Woodcock Tentler (read 2 Sep 2020) This book recounts the history of Catholics in what is now the United States, which means the history starts with Florida, where St. Augustine was founded in 1584. The history reaches its apogee with the tremendous stride the Church made in the years in the 20th century and after World War II. The account is very subjective and freely passes judgment on what does seem to be mistakes in dealing with events since the Second Vatican Council. Undoubtedly there have been adverse events which have hurt the Church in recent years. These are related and to an orthodox Catholic like myself are painful reading.. So while I admire the accurate telling of the events of recent years. I found the reading at times painful and distressing. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
A sweeping history of American Catholicism from the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries to the present This comprehensive survey of Catholic history in what became the United States spans nearly five hundred years, from the arrival of the first Spanish missionaries to the present. 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.
