American Catholics Today: New Realties of their Faith and their Church
American Catholics Today is fourth in what has become an indispensable set of longitudinal studies by leading sociologists of religion conducted every six years, starting in 1987 (so that the current volumes' data were collected in 2005). The design of the studies allows for comparisons across cohorts as well as for analysis of changes over the years within cohorts. The entire series is a central source for scholars of American Catholicism, and t…

Studying the Political Culture of American Catholicism
This paper aims toward a better integration of the sociology of culture and the sociology of religion in the study of American Catholicism. It discusses Catholicism as a cultural discourse, the concept of ideological structures, and the implications of a cultural approach for Warner's “new paradigm” and rational choice theory

Frontiers of Catholicism: The Politics of Ideology in a Liberal World
Why does the Catholic Church take a politically conservative stance on some issues, such as abortion and birth control, while on others, such as social programs and nuclear policy, it resembles the left? Why do some Catholic groups reject the legitimacy of Church hierarchy and yet choose to remain within its fold? To explain these apparent contradictions, Gene Burns examines the origins of contemporary diversity and conflict in the Catholic Churc…

The Politics of Ideology: The Papal Struggle with Liberalism
Social actors are drawn to ideological formulations that justify a defense or expansion of their own autonomy and power. Changes in distributions of power can close some avenues of ideological autonomy and open others; thus actors will have varying degrees of control over different issues within a given ideology. In response to the rise of liberal states in 19th-century Europe, the papacy was forced to avoid sociopolitical issues if it was to avo…
Productivity as a Social Problem: The Uses and Misuses of Social Indicators
The study of social indicators is valuable for understanding the role that the social sciences play in the political arena. One common pattern is for a particular social indicator to become frozen in place once it takes on political significance, and this can result in ironic consequences. This study traces out the case of indicators of aggregate productivity trends in the United States. These measures were initially developed as part of an under…
Social Competence and Adjustment
A research programme is described that is concerned with the general issue of adjustment, but focuses more specifically on social competence, viewed as a manageable and measurable component of adjustment. At first, the subjects of the research were psychiatric patients and it was found that better adjusted ones have a larger repertoire of social skills and use these more appropriately than more poorly adjusted patients. Correlations found between…
