Abstract

How is Catholicism different in America?

Dr. Michael Baxter explains that Catholicism in America was driven to change by a need to fit in. Catholics had to adapt to the culture in America, starting when immigrants first came to the country. Such adaptations, he believes, has led many Catholics to move away from a Gospel lifestyle.
