Abstract: "Throughout my dissertation I explore the connection between religion and foreign policy in this country during the Vietnam conflict, examining how Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson defined their foreign policies in terms of religious principles and how, in turn, the American Catholic Church—the largest single denomination in the United States—conceptualized and responded to the government's initiatives overseas"

Introduction - Non Exidet: The Warriors of 3301 Solly Avenue
1. Soldiers of Christ, citizens as apostles: Catholicism and the American civil religion at the dawn of the Cold War
2. Delivering them from evil: Church and state fight for Ngo Dinh Diem and the Catholics of Vietnam
3. Catholic by birth, if not by heart: John F. Kennedy, Catholicism and the secularization of the American commitment to Vietnam
4. The long, hot Buddhist summer: The burning bonze, the deaths of Ngo Dinh Diem and Ngo Dinh Nhu, and the Catholic America
5. Baptisms of water and fire: Lyndon Johnson's political and spiritual journey from the Pedernales to the Mekong
6. Blessed are the peacemakers: Catholic America fights, Lyndon Johnson's war
Conclusion - The turning: The American Catholic church rejects anti-communism and the war in Vietnam
