Notes from the underground.Since the 1970's, liberal American Catholics have sustained a Reform Movement to counteract the conservative drift of the Vatican and to preserve and expand on the reforms of Vatican II. This book draws on a range of theory to analyze and interpret this movement, which is intent on creating a model of church, that examples Vatican II's open, receptive attitude toward the modern world. In response to backlash from church officials, the movement has increasingly abandoned effort to reform Roman Catholicism from within, and has moved in a sectarian direction by creating independent worship communities. The movement faces a precarious future due to its rapidly aging membership and the unstable nature of its newly-formed communities.Studies in critical social sciences.Studies in critical research on religion ;v. 2.Studies in critical social sciences ;v. 40.Church renewalCatholic ChurchLaityUnited StatesHistory21st centuryLaityCatholic ChurchHistory21st centuryLiberalism (Religion)Catholic ChurchElectronic books.Church renewalCatholic Church.LaityHistoryLaityCatholic ChurchHistoryLiberalism (Religion)Catholic Church.282/.7309045Kautzer Kathleen909152MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462082903321The underground church2033585UNINA
