PROMPT:
In James T. Fisher’s Communion of Immigrants, the author provides a general sweep of the history of Catholicism in the United States. An underlying idea throughout the work is the distinctiveness of American Catholicism rooted in the challenges presented by American republicanism (p. 25) and the diversity brought about by the immigrant character of the American Catholic Church coupled with a hierarchical church, particularly its central authority, the Pope. These same challenges are the source of American Catholicism’s contribution to the universal Catholic Church.
THINGS TO CONSIDER. These are questions that can help you clarify the important elements of your essay. They are not to be answered point by point per se in the essay itself. The essay should be a coherent argument that unpacks the prompt. The prompt functions like a thesis of the essay.
1. Briefly consider the history of the growth of the American Catholic Church and the diverse challenges experienced by the different waves of Catholic immigrants. How did the immigrant experience affect the understanding of religious liberty?
2. How did the immigrant experience affect the understanding If the intersection of religious identity and of ethnic identity?
3. How was being a Catholic immigrant an advantage and a challenge?
4. Why was being able to simultaneously hold Catholic and American identity seen as problematic?
5. How did/does the distinctive experience of American Catholicism enable American Catholics to contribute to the universal Catholic Church’s understanding of religious liberty?
