Title: Anti-Catholicism in America
First published: 2003
Description: "In this remarkable work, Mark Massa takes on those who hate the Catholic people and the Catholic Church for what makes them distinctive, as well as those who deny the distinctiveness of Catholicism. Massa goes behind the well-known stories of the ways Catholics have been vilified and mistreated in American society, boldly suggesting that Catholics really are different, looking at the world in a fundamentally different way than their non-Catholic neighbors. This difference explains a number of conflicts between Protestants and Catholics, including important aspects of the current priestly scandals of Boston and around the country."--Jacket.
