  The common
admission that 'everything I know about religion I learned from the movies' is true for believers as much as for
unbelievers. And at the movies, Catholicism is the American religion. As an intensely visual faith with a well-defined
ritual and authority structure, Catholicism lends itself to the drama and pageantry of film. Beginning with the 1915
silent movie Regeneration and ending with Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ, eleven prominent scholars explore how
Catholic characters, spaces, and rituals are represented in cinema. Each of the contributors to Catholics in the Movies
has chosen one movie from over one hundred years of moviemaking to discuss what happens when an organized religion - not
just Bible stories or spiritual themes - enter into a film. Arranged chronologically, Catholics in the Movies sets the
films within a wider historical narrative while providing close readings of critical themes and images that go beyond
the conventional. Several chapters focus on the many directors and screenwriters who were raised in Catholic families,
and who explore this faith in complex and compelling ways. Authors look at film classics like Going My Way and The Song
of Bernadette to reveal how Catholic characters simultaneously reflect outsider status as well as the 'American
way-of-life.' They consider the violence of The Godfather and the physicality of The Exorcist not simply as antonyms for
religion but as tightly linked to Catholic sensibilities. Lesser known films like Seven Cities of Gold and Santitos are
examined for their connection to historical movements like anti-communism and Mexican immigration. Tracing the story of
American Catholic history through popular films, Catholics in the Movies should be a valuable resource for anyone
interested in American Catholicism and religion and film.

  Review
 
"Colleen McDannell has brought together an all-star cast of scholars to examine what happened when American Catholics
went to the movies, what happened to them and to the movies. Movie screens were an extension of the streets and shrines
of the American church, where Catholics struggling with the hard realities of American life encountered their deepest
fears and wildest dreams. This fabulous book makes it clear that going to the movies was as formative of American
Catholicism as going to church." --Robert Orsi, author of The Madonna of 115th Street and Thank You, Saint Jude"Although
the title of this collection is Catholics in the Movies, it is in fact about so much more than Catholics and movies,
encompassing a range of subjects that bear on religious life in US history including race and gender, immigration and
sexuality, fear and power. McDannell and the other writers bring Catholic history to light, but they also illuminate a
much wider cultural field with compelling, insightful results." --Gary Laderman, Chair and Professor, Department of
Religion, Emory University
