America's Church: The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception and Catholic Presence in the Nation's Capital
Tweed, Thomas A. (Shive, Lindsay, and Gray Professor of Religious Studies, Shive, Lindsay, and Gray Professor of Religious Studies, University of Texas, Austin)
Thomas Tweed demonstrates that the National Shrine provides a highly illuminating site from which to tell the story of Catholicism in the U. S. He organizes his narrative around six themes that, he contends, characterize American Catholicism: building institutions, mobilizing women, engaging children, contesting Protestants, claiming civic space, and incorporating immigrants.
