Italian Religious Views

Catholicism was the predominant religion for Italian immigrants. However, their catholic faith differed greatly from that of other immigrant groups such as the Irish or the Germans.

 Although almost all Italian immigrants were and remained Catholics, their Catholicism was of a quite different nature than that of Irish and Polish Catholics on the one hand or German Catholics on the other. (1)
