摘要：In the popular imagination of colonial settlers in the “lower forty-eight” contiguous states of the United States, Alaska has been reckoned as “the last frontier”—a remote, “wild” place, rich in natural resources, and, for the enterprising Christian missionary, home to souls for harvesting. The history of Catholic Alaska begins relatively late, following the purchase of the territory from Russia in 1867. More recently, Alaska has become known as a landscape of shame for the Catholic Church, following revelations of child abuse in the Diocese of Fairbanks.
