Summary |
Thomas Tweed shows that the National Shrine is an illuminating site from which to tell the story of 20th-century Catholicism. He organizes his narrative around themes that characterize U.S. Catholicism and ties these themes to the Shrine's material culture: to images, artifacts and devotional spaces |
