Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to debunk a long-held myth: that Catholics cannot be loyal citizens of the United States. The author challenges the notion that Catholics are inherently disloyal, arguing that their history in America reveals a strong commitment to the nation's founding principles. The book delves into the crucial role of Catholic explorers, missionaries, and colonists in shaping the landscape and character of the United States. From the voyages of St. Brendan to the establishment of Catholic missions across the continent, the author presents a compelling narrative that underscores the active participation of Catholics in American history. The book examines the founding of the Maryland colony, highlighting its unique status as a haven of religious tolerance for Catholics, and analyzes the contributions of Catholic missionaries who devoted their lives to evangelizing and civilizing Native American communities.
