History & Biography

“Kevin Starr's final work displays the magnificent abilities that marked his entire career. This deeply researched and eminently readable volume demonstrates how an unlikely group of former Jesuits, French Sulpicians, and an indomitable woman laid the foundations for American Catholicism. Starr shows how the American Church, equally distrusted by American Protestants and Vatican officials, managed to demonstrate that Catholicism and republicanism could enrich each other.”
