Title: “Catholicism in the American Century”

Studies of twentieth-century American Catholicism are also multiplying in areas such as race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, ritual and devotion, intellectual life, and the influence of Vatican II and its aftermath. Throughout the twentieth century, Roman Catholicism, the nation’s largest church and religious community, exercised untold influence on race relations and the civil rights movement, immigration and ethnic-bloc politics, sexual practices and attitudes, social mores and cultural trends. This conference explores several dimensions of “Catholic impact” and asks how the writing of twentieth century U.S. history might be revised and renewed through a more deliberate and thoughtful consideration of the significance of Catholic ideas, institutions, and actors.
