Oscar Handlin noted some years ago that most immigrants to the United States found the voluntary practices of American religious institutions "unfamilar and disturbing." This was not the case with the Irish Catholic immigrants in this country. They had little difficulty adjusting to these practices in America since they had developed them in Ireland before coming to the United States. Thus, many American Irish Catholics viewed voluntaryism not as a uniquely Protestant or American experience; they saw it as part of their Irish Catholic tradition
