<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Putting the current sexual-abuse scandal in the Church and the media's response in a much larger context, this stimulating history of both Catholicism and anti-Catholicism is a model of nuanced scholarship and provocative reading. 21 illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <em>Catholicism and American Freedom</em> is a groundbreaking historical account of the tensions (and occasional alliances) between Catholic and American understandings of a healthy society and the individual person, including dramatic conflicts over issues such as slavery, public education, economic reform, the movies, contraception, and abortion.
