| Summary: | The assumption that black minorities, including Catholics, share in the “subculture of the dominant Negro Protestant majority” is examined in this paper. Using national sample data, black Catholics and nonCatholics are compared on class variables and, as expected, Catholics are found to be of a higher class. Using data collected in Louisville (with class differences controlled through the method of sampling which depended upon residential proximity of Protestants to Catholics), black Catholics and Protestants are compared in terms of religious orientations and militancy. Differences are found for the former, but not the latter variables. Implications of the findings are assessed for conversion trends. |
