Catholic Fundamentalism in America examines a new phenomenon in the U.S., which emerged in the American Catholic Church in the decades after World War II. Protestant Fundamentalism has generated dozens of studies by a number of respected scholars; Catholic Fundamentalism has, until now, generated few studies. Further, the Catholic variety has been misunderstood as simply synonymous with religious conservatism or traditionalism. This book looks at seven Catholic figures and movements that emerged after 1945 that embodied the distinct features of fundamentalism in America.

Boston College Bookstore will be onsite selling copies of Catholic Fundamentalism in America.
