Catholic Fundamentalism in America examines a new phenomenon in the U.S., which emerged in the American Catholic Church in the decades after World War II. Protestant Fundamentalism has generated dozens of studies by a number of respected scholars; Catholic Fundamentalism has, until now, generated few studies.
