Struggle & Activisim of Catholics

         Catholics have lived in America since its early days. They were discriminated against much of the Americas history. John F Keedy,a Roman Catholic, won the election of 1960. Since 1960 the world ecumenical movement that serves to unite Christians has caused further integraton of Roman Catholics into the American mainsteam.
         Catholics said that they should be treated as Americans. During discrimination they had a difficult time because they couldn't vote, catholic children couldn't go to school and they could not read the bible in school. The KKK were against the catholics. They discriminated the catholics and they hated them.
          In conclusion, the Catholics were discriminated very sadly. Catholics couldn't have a good education because they couldn't go to school and they could not read the bible in school. They had to like make their won little school and have their own education.
