520 |a This investigation describes a cluster of seven Catholic Pentecostal groups, focusing especially on non-university prayer groups. The evidence suggests several factors at this period in the development of American Catholicism and American society that account for the attraction of the Pentecostal movement to stable middle-class, educated, active Catholics. All of these factors center around the relative need for security: perceived crisis in society and in the church, felt need for a strong authority, anomie, dualism, ambiguity about one's personal salvation, discomfort with social and religious change, and escapism. The Catholic Pentecostal groups serve important socio-psychological functions for their members, particularly the maintenance of a dissonant definition of reality. These functions for members serve to support the plausibility of the religious worldview of this cognitive minority, which is not unlike any religious worldview in its minority status vis-à-vis the dominant worldview of modern Western society. As such, the Pentecostal movement among American Catholics may be seen as one response to certain very basic problems of belief in contemporary society.
