Catholicism in the United
States has a challenging
but rich history that is
rarely told. Emily Stimpson
Chapman, an experienced
journalist and the author
of numerous books, tells of the triumphs
and obstacles that Catholics faced in
the 1800s when evangelizing. Emily’s
telling of the immense struggles that
bishops, religious, and lay people
endured to spread the Gospel in the
nineteenth century offers us relatable
role models and inspiration as we face
challenges in our own day.
