Polarization? Identifying What Divides and Unites American Catholics
Polarization among American Catholics has been a subject of both scholarly and media attention. Using a nationally representative survey of over 1500 Catholics, the first part of this article explores the extent to which race, gender, generation, and commitment to Catholicism shape polarization among Catholics; these different characteristics affect Catholics’ political and civic beliefs and practices to varying degrees. The second part of the ar…
Mercy and the Rule of Law
Unity and Diversity
Scholars have explained many of the differences within the American Catholic population in terms of political division or polarization. Although Catholics are becoming increasingly politically bifurcated, to focus only on the political misses the specifically religious differences that also distinguish Catholics from one another. There have been substantial changes in the staffing of Catholic campus ministry in the last 20 years. To better unders…
The Twentysomething Soul
Within the last decade, both young adults and religious disengagement have caught the attention of scholars as well as the general public. Trying to understand the choices of those coming into prolonged and gradual adulthood has been a puzzle for those whose experience was more scripted and abrupt. Conversations about Millennial and iGen Americans can quickly devolve into insulting stereotypes that do not take the social context of today’s twenty…

As these missionaries grow in number, there is also an increase in the number of campuses that simultaneously use missionaries and long-term, professional ministers with graduate degrees. Drawing upon two national studies of Catholic campus ministers and the work of a national task force, this article w…
Faith with Benefits
Inspired by his own students’ questions and struggles in their romantic lives, Jason King’s Faith with Benefits explores hookup culture on Catholic campuses. The student participants come from different Catholic colleges, yet they share in a common dominant definition of hookups as a noncommitted, sexual encounter. Despite student perception that hookup culture is pervasive, very few (4 of 145 written responses) found hookups to be a positive exp…
Hollywood Faith
Gerardo Marti's Hollywood Faith examines how a Pentecostal church brings together two worlds that are often seen at odds with one another: conservative Christianity and the Hollywood entertainment industry. In a very readable style, Marti substantiates his narrative through a year's worth of ethnographic fieldwork and 50 in-depth interviews, employing a Durkheimian lens of analysis to his findings. Located just blocks from the Walk of Fame, Oasis…
