Americans grew to accept their Catholic neighbors not through attending mass, but by going to the movies, to the theatre, and to the press. Holywood examines three striking episodes of interwar Catholic visual culture and shows what they reveal about the mutual influence of Catholicism, American religiosity, and popular culture.
