Reviews on Our Dear-Bought Liberty

“Our Dear-Bought Liberty is the definitive treatment of the Catholic quest for religious toleration in America from early colonial Maryland to the creation of the American republic. . . . An excellent work that should be read by anyone interested in church-state relations in early America.”
—Mark David Hall, Law & Liberty

“How did the Calvert family, founders of the Catholic colony of Maryland, and the Carroll family, who gave America its first bishop and its sole Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence, navigate the rocks and shoals of anti-Catholic British penal laws and absurdly expansive Roman notions of the papacy’s role in civil affairs? Michael D. Breidenbach sheds new light on that fascinating question in Our Dear-Bought Liberty: Catholics and Religious Toleration in Early America (Harvard University Press), an original, provocative contribution to the study of U.S. Catholic history.”
—George Weigel, First Things
