DOWNLOAD EBOOKFrom humble and obscure beginnings, mainly self-educated, and following a religious path often mired in uncertainty, Orestes Brownson (1803-1876), preacher, journalist, editor, and philosopher, rose to become an important and often controversial figure in nineteenth century America. Author Edward Power focuses on Brownson's ideas and their influence on nineteenth century public and Catholic education in the United States. He introduces Brownson's theory of educational authority and responsibility, and then explores his opinions on the character of Catholic and public schools. He highlights the significance of family and other social institutions in the educational process and the importance of Catholic education, in particular. Brownson made important contributions by clarifying the often troublesome religious issues that cropped up in nineteenth century America. He wanted to demonstrate to America that the Catholic Church is an institution whose doctrines and practices are entirely compatible with American democracy.
Sectarianism and Orestes Brownson in the American Religious Marketplace

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book reveals the origins of the American religious marketplace by examining the life and work of reformer and journalist Orestes Brownson (1803-1876). Grounded in a wide variety of sources, including personal correspondence, journalistic essays, book reviews, and speeches, this work argues that religious sectarianism profoundly shaped participants in the religious marketplace. Brownson is emblematic of this dynamic because he changed his religious identity seven times over a quarter of a century. Throughout, Brownson waged a war of words opposing religious sectarianism. By the 1840s, however, a corrosive intellectual environment transformed Brownson into an arch religious sectarian. The book ends with a consideration of several explanations for Brownson’s religious mobility, emphasizing the goad of sectarianism as the most salient catalyst for change.

Brownson argued that the American republic's unique charter was to reconcile liberty with law and thus set an example for the world. This volume is made especially timely by the ongoing revival of his thought in American political discourse."--BOOK JACKET.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1988, this title looks at the importance of the Catholic school in American education from 1830 to 1980. The articles in this collection illuminate the patterns of development. The most prevalent theme is that of school controversy, involving either Catholic conflict with public education and the wider culture on the one hand, or internal dissension within the Catholic community regarding the desirability of separate schools on the other. Taken together, these essays serve as pieces of a mosaic, interesting in themselves yet corporately providing a comprehensive picture of the history of Catholic schooling in America. They remind us that these institutions grew up as a response to particular forces at work in the wider society as well as within the Catholic community itself.
