RELI 154 - (HP) American Catholicism NowSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
Explorations of varieties of Catholicism in the United States: 1) as a common spiritual impulse across different times and contexts; 2) as a highly differentiated religion whose members both shared and contested its meanings; and 3) as a prism for understanding historical developments for America and Americans in general. The course begins by trying to define Catholicism, including close reading of primary sources, and concludes with reflection upon a semester-long reading of Thomas Merton’s The Seven Storey Mountain. Each offering will include specific emphases, from expressions of sacramentality to social justice to sexuality issues.
