Reviews
For anyone teaching and doing research on the American Catholic Church, this is an indispensable book., American Catholics is an excellent summary and extension of the research of four of the top sociologists currently studying Catholicism in the United States. As such, it would be useful to several audiences.... Overall, this is an excellent book that fulfills its primary aim of summarizing some two decades of research on Catholic opinion for the audience that could most benefit from this knowledge. In the process, it also highlights some new issues that will be fruitful areas of research in the years to come. I look forward to the reports of additional studies by these authors in the future, as they continue to mine the riches of these data., Whether you are a pastoral leader or a 'person in the pews,' American Catholics will help you understand the complexities of Catholic life in the third millennium. This study of attitudes, beliefs and trends is a needed resource for responsible pastoral initiatives based on intelligent use of these rich data. Surprising findings await readers of this important new book.

Synopsis
How much do American Catholics still identify with the Catholic Church? Do they agree with the Church's teachings, and how often do they participate in its sacraments? What do they think it takes to be a good Catholic? What do they consider to be the Church's core teachings? How do they believe issues of faith and morals should be decided: by the hierarchy, the laity, or some combination of the two? How are they coping with the priest shortage, and what do they believe the Church should do to solve the problem? How do they feel about social issues such as capital punishment and increased military spending? In American Catholics, four distinguished sociologists use national surveys from 1999, 1993, and 1987 to examine these issues. They show that Catholics' beliefs and practices are changing. They also demonstrate how differences in gender, generation, and commitment to the Church influence attitudes on all of these issues. Balanced and clear, filled with useful tables and charts, and unique in its ability to compare results over time, American Catholics makes essential reading for anyone interested in the future of Catholicism in the United States., How much do American Catholics still identify with the Catholic Church?
