| Described in this text is the story of American Catholicism, which chronicles how the nation's largest minority group has coped with the
challenges of practicing in America. The history of U.S. Catholicism concerns conflict not only between Catholics and Protestants, but also among Catholics of different nationalities. It is the story of immigration, economic and social mobility, of `making it' in America, and how Catholics and non-Catholics overcame their differences; it is the meaning of religious freedom in America. |

just beginning their study of American Catholic history." -- D. Campbell, Colby College, Choice. |
