“In Defense of the Faith: The Catholic Response to Anti-Catholicism in Early Nineteenth-Century St. Louis”

Sarah Hinds, Lindenwood University

Abstract

One side effect of the Second Great Awakening was a rise in anti- Catholic sentiment, especially as new Catholic immigrants arrived in the 1840s. While much is written on this nativism, little examines the Church’s response. Sarah Hinds uses St. Louis as a case study for understanding the nature of antebellum nativism and the Church’s responses.
