02 Colonies, Conflict, and the Making of an American Church
from History of the Papacy Podcast · host History of the Papacy
How do you build a church in a land that doesn’t want you? In this episode, we follow the early development of the Catholic Church in the United States—from Maryland’s founding as a Catholic refuge to the challenges of worship in secret and organizing without bishops. At the center of it all is John Carroll, a Jesuit priest who would become the first bishop in American history. Through political suspicion, missionary improvisation, and internal conflict, Carroll and his fellow Catholics carved out space for faith in a revolutionary new republic. #CatholicHistory #JohnCarroll #AmericanCatholics #PapacyPodcast #HistoryPodcast #FoundingEra #ChurchAndState #USHistory #ReligiousFreedomSupport the show:Buy me a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/historyofthepapacyPatreon: http://patreon.com/historyofthepapacyBuy me a book: http://bit.ly/40ckJ8EHave questions, comments or feedback?
