The progressive era -- Negotiating us identity: progressive era Catholicism and national unity -- Ever bright light: John Joseph Wynne, S.J. (1859-1948) -- The guardian of liberty -- The Catholic Encyclopedia -- America -- "Vir Deo conjunctus."
Summary:
In 'Founding Father', Michael F. Lombardo provides the first critical biography of John J. Wynne, S.J. (1859-1948). One of the most prominent American Catholic intellectuals of the early twentieth century, Wynne was founding editor of the 'Catholic Encyclopedia' (1907) and the Jesuit periodical 'America' (1909), and served as vice-postulator for the canonization causes of the first American saints (the Jesuit Martyrs of North America) and Kateri Tekakwitha. Lombardo uses theological inculturation to explore the ways in which Wynne used his publications to negotiate American Catholic citizenship during the Progressive Era. He concludes that Wynne?s legacy was part of a flowering of early-twentieth century American Catholic intellectual thought that made him a key forerunner to the mid-century Catholic Revival.
