| Jay P. Dolan, author of the widely read The American Catholic Experience: A History from Colonial Times to the Present (1985), has written a reflective analysis of the strains between Catholicism and aspects of American culture. Its subtitle is not exactly accurate, as Dolan admits in the introduction. This is not a study of the reciprocal relationship between religion and culture but rather an examination of how American culture has contributed to the shape of American Catholicism in the course of the last two hundred years. |
