Talk:Anti-Catholicism

Russia, Ukraine and around

Anti-Catholicism in territories influenced by Moscow Patriarchia does exist and worth describing but the "Ukraine" section tells mostly about repressions against whoever except Catholics. Ignatus (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

Bibliography for Project under Wiki Education Foundation

These are sources I will be using while conducting my research on anti-Catholicism in the US during the nineteenth century. I hope the information gathered here will be useful in providing more content for readers.

• Casanova, José. “Roman and Catholic and American: The Transformation of Catholicism in the United States.” International Journal of Politics, Culture, and Society 6, no. 1 (1992): 75–111. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20007073.
  • Casanova’s article details the American Catholic experience throughout US history by examining the main ways in which the Catholic experience was shaped by American culture and politics. It discusses religious intolerance and violence that occurred in the 1840s as a result of political differences and how immigrant groups found community within their local churches.

• Corrigan, John, and Lynn S. Neal, eds. “Anti-Catholicism.” In Religious Intolerance in America, Second Edition: A Documentary History, 2nd ed., 49–72. University of North Carolina Press, 2010. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.5149/9781469655642_corrigan.6.
  • This chapter focuses on Anti-Catholicism throughout American history, with specific primary source evidence demonstrating the opinions of different individuals and groups over the course of US history.

• Clark, Elizabeth A. Founding the Fathers: Early Church History and Protestant Professors in Nineteenth-Century America. University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011.
  • Clark’s book offers deeper insight into the influence of Christianity on higher education in the US during the 19^th century, with one particular chapter covering professors writing about their opinions on Roman Catholicism. Clark summarizes their words and explores their disdain which is largely attributed to the pope’s power.

• Franchot, Jenny. Roads to Rome: The Antebellum Protestant Encounter with Catholicism. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1994.
  • The book places much emphasis on anti-Catholicism based on the dislike of immigrants themselves more than the dislike of the pope or the Catholic church’s structure and politics. Nativism is a main theme throughout.

• Gelpi, Albert. “The Catholic Presence in American Culture.” American Literary History 11, no. 1 (1999): 196–212. https://www.jstor.org/stable/490084.
  • The article examines the immigrant makeup of many congregations of Catholic churches in the 1800s and how “American Catholicism” differed from European Catholicism.

• Green, Steven K. “The Blaine Amendment Reconsidered.” The American Journal of Legal History 36, no. 1 (1992): 38–69. https://doi.org/10.2307/845452.
  • The Blaine Amendment was brought to the table in an attempt to prevent public, governmental funding from being used to fund private Catholic schools in the US. Passed at a time when Protestant and Catholic education were at odds with one another.

• Lazerson, Marvin. “Understanding American Catholic Educational History.” History of Education Quarterly 17, no. 3 (1977): 297–317. https://doi.org/10.2307/367880.
  • This article discusses how Catholic education developed after the arrival of many Irish and German Catholic immigrants in urban areas of the US and how the tensions between Protestantism and Catholicism affected the schooling.

• Tyack, David, and Elisabeth Hansot. “Conflict and Consensus in American Public Education.” Daedalus 110, no. 3 (1981): 1–25. https://www.jstor.org/stable/20024738.
  • Another source discussing the development of Catholic education systems in the United States as public education was growing in the nineteenth century.

• Verhoeven, Timothy. “Transatlantic Connections: American Anti-Catholicism and the First Vatican Council (1869-70).” Catholic Historical Review 100, no. 4 (October 2014): 695–720. https://doi.org/10.1353/cat.2014.0218.
  • In an effort to demonstrate how anti-Catholicism in the US came from a concern for international political relations, Verhoeven describes how the First Vatican Council in 1869 impacted America’s relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, and more specifically, to Pope Pius IX.
