Curran’s work includes detailed studies of Jesuit history, Catholic experiences in Maryland and New York, and the complex roles Catholics played in the Civil War, including their engagement with the Lost Cause narrative. His extensive archival research led to significant publications such as *Papist Devils: Catholics in British America, 1571–1783*, *American Catholics and the Quest for Equality in the Civil War Era*, and comprehensive histories of Georgetown University. Curran also reflects on the relevance of historical understanding to contemporary political and social challenges, advocating for the historian’s role in illuminating the past to inform present democratic struggles. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Nonfiction Work src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Catholic Historical Review is the property of Catholic University of America Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
