Mapping Religion...
Prof. Lionel Rothkrug identified the locations of more than one thousand German pilgrimage shrines from before the Reformation. By combining the GIS map of shrines with layers showing the regional concentration of Catholics and Protestants in later centuries, he found that places with pre-Reformation shrines remained Catholic. I am investigating the impact of Catholic immigrants in the American religious landscape by combaning the GIS map of shrines with layers showing the influx of immigrants along the last four centuries.
