First Printing�September 1996, Second Printing�April 1999, 145 pages Contents - Introduction to the Series - Founding of Catholic America (1492-1770) - Founding of Protestant America (1607-1770) History is the key to understanding men�whether as nations, families, or individuals. Yet, Americans are fed more in the way of religious national mythology about the United States than serious history�useless for understanding the present or anticipating the future, or for any other purpose than self-adoration of the materialistic, secularized Puritan vision of paradise which is the United States. The exercise of true patriotism will be to convert the United States to the Catholic Faith. To do this, say the editors of Angelus Press, �we must understand the forces and events which brought forth not only the religion of Americanism and the country itself, but also the sort of Catholicism which, in 300 years, failed so dismally to bring this conversion about.� In this five-volume series, the editors make a beginning toward a Catholic view of American history by reinterpreting the better-known episodes of U.S. history in accordance with the Catholic Faith, and to point up lessor-known details which give factual proof of the truth of this reinterpretation. |
