Paperback or Softback. Condizione: New. Religious Lessons: Catholic Sisters and the Captured Schools Crisis in New Mexico. Book.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Religious Lessons tells the story of Zellers v. Huff, a court case that challenged the employment of nearly 150 Catholic sisters in public schools across New Mexico in 1948. Known nationally as the "Dixon case," after one of the towns involved, it was the most famous in a series of midcentury lawsuits, all targeting what opponents provocatively dubbed "captive schools." Spearheaded by Protestants and Other Americans United for Separation of Church and State, the publicity campaign built around Zellers drew on centuries-old rhetoric of Catholic captivity to remind Americans about the threat of Catholic power in the post-War era, and the danger Catholic sisters dressed in full habits posed to American education.Americans at midcentury were reckoning with the U.S. Supreme Court's new mandate for a "wall of separation" between church and state. At no time since the nation's founding was the Establishment Clause studied so carefully by the nation's judiciary and its people. While Zellers never reached the Supreme Court, its details were familiar to hundreds of thousands of citizens who read about them in magazines and heard them discussed in church on Sunday mornings. For many Americans, Catholic and not, the scenario of sisters in veils teaching children embodied the high stakes of the era's church-state conflicts, and became an occasion to assess the implications of separation in their lives.Through close study of the Dixon case, Kathleen Holscher brings together the perspectives of legal advocacy groups, Catholic sisters, and citizens who cared about their schools. She argues that the captive school crusade was a transitional episode in the Protestant-Catholic conflicts that dominate American church-state history. Religious Lessons also goes beyond legal discourse to consider the interests of Americans--women religious included--who did not formally articulate convictions about the separation principle. The book emphasizes the everyday experiences, inside and outside classrooms, that defined the church-state relationship for these people, and that made these constitutional questions relevant to them.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Exposes the deep Catholic roots of American horrorFrom exorcisms to suffocating catacombs, grinning corpses, and electric holy water, Catholicism and American horror go hand in hand. Body and Blood cuts horror open to reveal how the Catholic tradition has shaped its supernatural and grotesque aesthetics in the modern world.Making the case that it is impossible to understand the enduring popularity of horror without recognizing its religious elements, this volume makes two groundbreaking claims. First, that there is a profoundly Catholic current coursing through modern American horror and that the genre comes alive in new ways when we hold it to the light of the Catholic past. And second, that Catholic history is horrifying in ways that demand our attention, ranging from the supernatural figures who visited children with visions of the apocalypse to settler colonialism and clergy sexual abuse. Catholicism is not exceptional in its capacity to horrify, of course. However, this book shows how contending with the Catholic dimension of the genre teaches us something important about horror and its hold on audiences in the United States, and it invites us to understand Catholicism anew.Offering a shocking view of Catholic history as you have never seen it before, Body and Blood presents both scholars and fans alike with an accessible entry into the dark underbelly of America's religious landscape.…
