[2016 Mormon Historical Association Winner for Best Article]
It is not surprising that the Mormon prophet Joseph Smith had visionary contemporaries whose experiences paralleled his own as closely as did American Catholic leader Isaac Hecker's. What is surprising is that the Catholicism of believers like Hecker-whose seekerism, visionary experiences, and hunger for Church community so closely parallel Smith's-has not been invoked more frequently to better understand the place of Mormonism in nineteenth-century America. Though it is most common to compare Mormonism-when it is compared at all-to the evangelical Protestantism so powerful in the nation at its inception, I argue here that certain features of Roman Catholicism's American experience offer far more illuminating parallels.
