| 520 | |a This article contributes to the study of American Catholic identity formation by exploring the process by which German-American Catholics in the late nineteenth century tried to negotiate an identity that allowed for cultural maintenance but also gave them a sense of national belonging in America. This is done by examining the rhetoric of a leading opinion-shaper in the German-American Catholic diaspora, Joseph Jessing, who edited a leading German language Catholic newspaper, The Ohio Orphans' Friend ('Ohio Waisenfreund'). His mission of preserving German Catholicism in the face of Americanization faced a quandary. As the church in the United States itself began to Americanize, the German and Catholic pillars of the diaspora's identity were increasingly at odds with each other. In the negotiation of a national identity, the forging and perpetuation of national myths played a critical role. Jessing and other opinion-shapers increasingly had to choose between the mythology of a German America and that of a Catholic America, which took as its main symbol the Catholic explorer Christopher Columbus. Although reluctant to make a clear choice, Jessing's participation in the emerging foundational myth of a Catholic America ultimately made him an unknowing contributor in the Americanization of German-American Catholics. | ||
