Fr. John Bapst, SJ, and the “Know Nothings”
American Catholic History
Before he was the first president of Boston College, Jesuit Fr. John Bapst served Catholics as a pastor in Maine. Tom and Noëlle Crowe tell us how Fr. Bapst ran afoul of the anti-Catholic Know Nothings, courageously standing up for his faith and his people to the point of tarring and feathering. The post Fr. John Bapst, SJ, and the “Know Nothings” appeared first on StarQuest Media.
