| Abstract | The Catholic Church's outlook on the labor question in the nineteenth century was highly ambivalent.On the one hand, the church was largely comprised of poor immigrant workers, but on the other hand, the hierarchy strongly believed in civil order and abhorred the violence which often ensued in labor conflicts. A focused study of one German Catholic newspaper, the St. Louis Amerika, was undertaken and compared to the Katholischer Glaubensbote. Particular attention is focused on issues that placed Catholicism in conflict with other principles such as democracy and republicanism, egalitarianism, racial and ethnic pluralism, and not least a German national pride, that were present or prevalent in other elements of German-American society. |
