La famille Healy en Amérique
À partir de sources d’archives originales, cet article reconstitue l’histoire d’une famille américaine du xix e siècle ayant franchi la « ligne de couleur » qui séparait les Noirs et les Blancs. Grâce à l’aide de supérieurs hiérarchiques bienveillants et d’institutions de médiation, en particulier l’Église catholique romaine, huit frères et sœurs ont réussi à « passer » avec succès. Leur expérience permet de mettre à l’épreuve les théories contem…
Patrick W. Carey. Confession
For generations, Roman Catholics in America lined up in their local parish churches to confess their sins anonymously to their pastors, believing that they received divine forgiveness through them. The crowds could be impressive. One priest in New York in the 1890s (who liked to count) reported hearing about 175 confessions during his regular sittings every Saturday afternoon and evening; one time, when he heard what he described as “only 88,” he…

These Stray Letters of Mine”
The essay proves that the published Letters of His Eminence, William Cardinal O'Connell (1915) are forgeries. They are still useful, however, in understanding the process by which individuals create and re-create their own lives and in demonstrating the power we invest in documents thought to be “original.”

Cortes's notary
A Social History of Knowledge
Fanatic Heart
Separatism and Subculture
From Advent to Easter
The recent interest in reconstructing the history of spirituality and religious belief is nowhere more welcome than in the history of Roman Catholicism in the United States. From the very point of its emergence as a recognizable subdiscipline at the turn of the century and lasting into very recent scholarship, American Catholic history has been a relentlessly "topdown"affair. It focused on the leaders of the church-almost all of them white males-…
The Rascal King
Militant and Triumphant
Militant and Triumphant aims to fill major gap in the historical record of American Catholicism by presenting portrait of Cardinal William Henry O'Connell and his significance in the Church and his times. Focusing on both the triumphs and controversies of O'Connell's career, James M. O'Toole chronicles the history of the catholic church in Boston in the first half of the 20th century. The biography begins with discussion of O'Connell's Irish immi…
"The Newer Catholic Races"
IN winter of 1921, Father Michael Scanlan spent some time on docks of South Boston. Scanlan, whose own parents had come from Ireland barely fifty years before, was eager to see for himself immigrants arriving at theport and to assess the religious welfare of same. In just two days, he met about three thousand newcomers, and he witnessed all noise and confusion attending a mass migration. He saw too sharpers and scoundrels who took advantage of na…
John Ireland and the American Catholic Church
The American Catholic Experience
Spanning nearly 500 years, American Catholic Experience describes the Catholic experience from the arrival of Columbus and the other European explorers to the present day. Jay P. Dolan discusses Catholicism as it spread across the New World, transforming - and being transformed by - the land and its people. The book traces the evolution of the urban ethnic communities by examining the vital contributions of the immigrant church to Catholicism. Fi…

The Saloon
This colorful and perceptive study presents persuasive evidence that the saloon, far from being a magnet for vice and crime, played an important role in working-class community life. Focusing on public drinking in wide open Chicago and tightly controlled Boston, Duis offers a provocative discussion of the saloon as a social institution and a locus of the struggle between middle-class notions of privacy and working-class uses of public space

The Historical Interpretations of Samuel Adams
T O one observer he was a man of serpentine Cunning, ready with a religious Mask to hide the true nature revealed by his cloven Foot.' To another he was uniformly devout and possessed of such Roman-like firmness that he would have made a figure in a conclave.2 To a more recent historian he was a shrewd operator who concealed petty partisanship under high-sounding generalities.3 To an even more recent one he was unique in our history, dedicated to…
