Book Anti Catholicism in Arkansas

Download or read book Anti Catholicism in Arkansas written by Kenneth C. Barnes and published by University of Arkansas Press. This book was released on 2016-11-01 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, 2017 Ragsdale Award A timely study that puts current issues—religious intolerance, immigration, the separation of church and state, race relations, and politics—in historical context. The masthead of the Liberator, an anti-Catholic newspaper published in Magnolia, Arkansas, displayed from 1912 to 1915 an image of the Whore of Babylon. She was an immoral woman sitting on a seven-headed beast, holding a golden cup “full of her abominations,” and intended to represent the Catholic Church. Propaganda of this type was common during a nationwide surge in antipathy to Catholicism in the early twentieth century. This hostility was especially intense in largely Protestant Arkansas, where for example a 1915 law required the inspection of convents to ensure that priests could not keep nuns as sexual slaves. Later in the decade, anti-Catholic prejudice attached itself to the campaign against liquor, and when the United States went to war in 1917, suspicion arose against German speakers—most of whom, in Arkansas, were Roman Catholics. In the 1920s the Ku Klux Klan portrayed Catholics as “inauthentic” Americans and claimed that the Roman church was trying to take over the country’s public schools, institutions, and the government itself. In 1928 a Methodist senator from Arkansas, Joe T. Robinson, was chosen as the running mate to balance the ticket in the presidential campaign of Al Smith, a Catholic, which brought further attention. Although public expressions of anti-Catholicism eventually lessened, prejudice was once again visible with the 1960 presidential campaign, won by John F. Kennedy. Anti-Catholicism in Arkansas illustrates how the dominant Protestant majority portrayed Catholics as a feared or despised “other,” a phenomenon that was particularly strong in Arkansas.

Book Preserving a Catholic Community  the History of St  Anthony s Catholic Church in Weiner  Arkansas

Download or read book Preserving a Catholic Community the History of St Anthony s Catholic Church in Weiner Arkansas written by Mary Jean Sitzer and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation explores the creation, and development of the cultural landscape of Catholics in Weiner, Arkansas, as a means to interpret and preserve the heritage of the people of the region's religious and Germanic heritage and how that has shaped this part of the state. The dissertation focuses on the development of a plan for the historical preservation and interpretation of St. Anthony's Catholic Church along with three buildings, to serve as the centerpiece for these heritage preservation activities. This potential historic district includes four physical elements: the church building built in 1935, the parochial school for religious education which began in 1920 with twenty-two students, the Rectory or Priest's House built in 1928, and the Family Center, or the Sisters' House, built in 1922. This historic district serves as the centerpiece for the interpretation of the Catholic history of the region, and the physical spaces will be used by future educators for the examination of various social studies and humanities topics including history, culture, etc. Three primary research questions of the dissertation: How can a church community that is more than one hundred years old in a small town in Arkansas ensure that its past lives on? What story does St. Anthony's Church, the school, Rectory, Family Center, and the cemetery have to tell to future generations? What ideas do I want visitors to take away with them and who is likely to be interested? Through this research and the ideas for interpretation, the focus is on the preservation of the historic religious architecture of St. Anthony's Church, its buildings and its cemetery that have survived in Weiner, Arkansas, and the stories of the Catholic Church and its people in Weiner, Arkansas, since the early 1900s.

Book Desegregating Dixie

    Book Details:
  • Author : Mark Newman
  • Publisher : Univ. Press of Mississippi
  • Release : 2018-09-17
  • ISBN : 1496818873
  • Pages : 512 pages

Download or read book Desegregating Dixie written by Mark Newman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark Newman draws on a vast range of archives and many interviews to uncover for the first time the complex response of African American and white Catholics across the South to desegregation. In the late nineteenth and first half of the twentieth century, the southern Catholic Church contributed to segregation by confining African Americans to the back of white churches and to black-only schools and churches. However, in the twentieth century, papal adoption and dissemination of the doctrine of the Mystical Body of Christ, pressure from some black and white Catholics, and secular change brought by the civil rights movement increasingly led the Church to address racial discrimination both inside and outside its walls. Far from monolithic, white Catholics in the South split between a moderate segregationist majority and minorities of hard-line segregationists and progressive racial egalitarians. While some bishops felt no discomfort with segregation, prelates appointed from the late 1940s onward tended to be more supportive of religious and secular change. Some bishops in the peripheral South began desegregation before or in anticipation of secular change while elsewhere, especially in the Deep South, they often tied changes in the Catholic churches to secular desegregation. African American Catholics were diverse and more active in the civil rights movement than has often been assumed. While some black Catholics challenged racism in the Church, many were conflicted about the manner of Catholic desegregation generally imposed by closing valued black institutions. Tracing its impact through the early 1990s, Newman reveals how desegregation shook congregations but seldom brought about genuine integration.
