About this Issue

About this Issue David J. Endres Thirty years ago, the University of Notre Dame published a three-volume series on the history of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. Much has changed within society and the Church over these years, including developments within Latino Catholicism. It is an appropriate time to survey the state of this field of study. I am grateful to Deborah Kanter, professor emeritus of history at Albion College, for suggesting this theme. Allan Figueroa Deck, S.J., who was co-editor of a book in the History of Hispanic Catholics in the U.S. series, offers an introductory essay. He is distinguished scholar of pastoral theology at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California.
