In this episode of our American Catholic History series, we explore the dramatic rise and lasting impact of Anti-Masonry in the early United States. The strange and haunting story of William Morgan's disappearance in 1826 set off a political wildfire, leading to the creation of the Anti-Masonic Party, the nation’s first third party. We’ll trace how this populist movement emerged out of fear of secret societies, clashed with Catholic ideas, and became a launching pad for major figures like William Wirt, Millard Fillmore, Thaddeus Stevens, and William Seward. Though Catholics and Anti-Masons shared deep suspicions about Freemasonry, their goals and values rarely aligned.

In this dive into the Catholic Church’s journey through early American expansion, from the Appalachian frontier to the banks of the Mississippi. As the new nation charged westward, Catholic communities emerged amid rivers, revivals, and rapidly shifting cultural landscapes. We’ll trace how Bishop John Carroll and others laid the foundations for an American expression of Catholicism in a time shaped by canals, awakenings, and revolutionary ideals. #CatholicHistory #USHistory #JohnCarroll #SecondGreatAwakening #ErieCanal #AmericanCatholicism #BurnedOverDistrict #CatholicPodcast #ChurchHistory

Today, we step away from the American story and cross the Atlantic to witness one of the most turbulent centuries in the history of the Catholic Church. From the chaos of the French Revolution to the rise and exile of popes, from clashes with Freemasonry to the revival of the Jesuits, the 19th century redefined the Church. Discover how the papacy went from political captivity to spiritual resurgence, laying the groundwork for its future in the modern world.

How do you build a church in a land that doesn’t want you? In this episode, we follow the early development of the Catholic Church in the United States—from Maryland’s founding as a Catholic refuge to the challenges of worship in secret and organizing without bishops. At the center of it all is John Carroll, a Jesuit priest who would become the first bishop in American history. Through political suspicion, missionary improvisation, and internal conflict, Carroll and his fellow Catholics carved out space for faith in a revolutionary new republic.

The story of the Catholic Church in the United States doesn't begin in 1776, but that’s where this series picks up. In this opening episode, we trace the long and winding road of Catholicism in North America—from Norse Greenland to the shores of Florida and set the stage for the Church’s role in a new and rapidly changing nation. This episode also offers a sweeping overview of American history between the Revolution and the Civil War to give you context for what’s to come.
