Given their newly acquired status as members of an unpopular religious minority, a number of converts recorded their conversion stories in an effort to justify becoming Catholic and to defend the teaching and practice of their Church. This title will be of interest to students of nineteenth-century religious and social history."--Provided by publisher Subject Catholic Church SUBJECT Catholic Church fast Subject Catholic converts -- United States -- Biography -- History and criticism Catholic converts -- United States -- History -- 19th century Autobiography.
