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.
