America and Catholicism

Here is a mostly negative review of Christopher Ferrara’s "Liberty: The God That Failed".

And here is a review by Jeff Miller (aka The Curt Jester) of Rusell Shaw's new book:  'American Church: The Remarkable Rise, Meteoric Fall, and Uncertain Future of Catholicism in America'




So, what are we Catholics to think?  Is America compatible with Catholicism or not?  Has America been good for the Church at large, and has it been good for us Catholics who live here?  How are we to live as Catholic Americans?  I can't wait to dig more into these books.
