U.S. Catholics: The Old Faith In A New Land

Morrissey College of Arts & Sciences

An undergraduate course focused on the Catholic community in the United States, studying both the "lIved religion" of ordinary Catholics in the pews and the important theological contributions of American theologians. The course is organized thematically rather than chronologically, looking at both the ways in which Catholics developed their unique identity within the community, and the ways in which the community as a whole related to the larger culture.
