History Of The Catholic Church In America

[p0lar_bear]

Does anyone know of any solid books on the history of the Catholic Church in America?

OK, so not a debate....but too many people never visit the Open Mic...

Crusader_4,

Thanks for responding.



However, I'm looking for something more general...

Also, I'm looking primarily for books.

There is a history book that we used in school at home here. It's called Christ and the Americas by Anne Carroll. It presents American History with a Catholic perspective. Although it has a little more that the Church's history, it tells the story of the Church in the Americas. The publisher is Tan Books

This one is very good. I used Anne Carrolls World History book and loved it and my sister used the American one. Also, when I was in ninth grade I used the Our Lady of the Rosary Homeschool curriculum and we did Catholic history in America. I don't know what books were used, but they were very good.

I have a book called, "The Popular History of the Catholic Church in America," Written in the 1950, by a really old Jesuit, that seems to be Orthodox.

I might be able to loan you this book.
