Conference Papers
"Exceptionalism and the 'Phantom Heresy': Antecedents to a Contemporary American Catholic Church" Conference paper, January 2015
This paper examines the theological and historical background of what some scholars have called American Catholic exceptionalism, tracing its antecedents in earlier debates about the relationship between American Catholicism and Rome.
"The Piarist Fathers and Frank Lloyd Wright's Graycliff: Sacred Space Realized" Conference paper, January 2013
A scholarly presentation of the research that also appeared in his 2013 New York History Review essay and eventually in his 2017 book. The paper examines how the Piarists' use and stewardship of Graycliff can be understood in the context of Wright's intentions for the estate as a space with spiritual dimensions.
"John Timon's Forgotten Struggle to Assimilate Catholics in Western New York" 92nd Annual Meeting of the American Catholic Historical Association, January 2012
This paper presented early research on Bishop John Timon's efforts to integrate Buffalo's Catholic immigrant population into American civic life. The research was later expanded into his 2021 peer-reviewed article in U.S. Catholic Historian.
