| Summary: | This book introduces and analyzes the fifth in a series of surveys of American Catholics that began in 1987. The surveys span 25 years and focus on attitudes that cover a broad range of dimensions of Catholic life. American Catholics in Transition tracks trends of change and continuity among generations and ethnic groups, as well as among individuals having differing levels of commitment and Catholic identity. It aims to demonstrate both the resilience and dynamism of Catholicism and to illustrate how individuals are shaped by the historical period in which they are born and live., American Catholics starts with a brief history of the cultural legacy and attitudes of the pre-Vatican II Catholic generation, defined as those currently 71 years of age or older. |
