This book showcases findings from a wide-ranging, empirical study of Catholics living in Britain. It offers a sociologically informed study, placing the contemporary Catholic community in the wider contexts of their society and the global faith of which they are a part. The book has been animated by a set of compelling broader questions: Who are the Catholics in Britain? How do they engage with their faith and with the Church? What do they think about issues within, and the leadership of, their Church? What are their views on wider social issues and of the party-political landscape? The book is thematically broad in scope, focusing on demography, religiosity (addressing the three ‘Bs’ of ‘believing’, ‘belonging’, and ‘behaving’), social-moral issues, Church leadership and schooling, and party support and voting behaviour. The book presents a rich and fascinating demographic, religious, and attitudinal profile of Britain’s Catholics in the twenty-first century
