Sense of the Faithful: How American Catholics Live Their Faith
Baggett, Jerome P. (Associate Professor of Religion and Society, Associate Professor of Religion and Society, Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley)
The image of the "cafeteria Catholic"-one who blithely picks and chooses those doctrines that suit him-is a staple of American culture. But are American Catholics really so nonchalant about how they integrate the ancient devotional practices of Catholicism with the everyday struggles of the modern world? For Sense of the Faithful, Jerome Baggett conducted 300 intensive interviews with members of six parishes to explore all aspects of thisquestion.
