A Social Portrait

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

More than 20 percent of Americans are Catholic, and overall membership in the Catholic Church has remained relatively steady even as increasing numbers of people claim no religious affiliation. Catholics in America provides a contemporary social portrait of this large, increasingly influential group that clarifies who Catholics are and what they really believe. The book offers extensive empirical evidence to uncover the real story of today's Catholics, including their family behaviors, work and economic status, and beliefs. This book will be an important guide for anyone wanting to understand the personal and religious foundations of today's Catholics.
