Catholic Culture in the USA articulates what is perhaps only implicit in other scholarship with regard to how theological teachings trickle down from the Vatican and influence decisions about food, marriage, sex, community celebrations, and medical care. John Portmann defends these Catholic dissidents and explores alternative expressions of Catholic devotion. Taking a holistic approach, the author indicates cultural change as resulting from interaction among individual rights assertions, grassroots mobilization, scholarly production and legislative innovation."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 606 $aCatholics$zUnited States$xReligion 606 $2Roman Catholicism, Roman Catholic Church 615 0$aCatholics$xReligion. 676 $a282/.7309045 700 $aPortmann$b John$0955973 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811228003321 996 $aCatholic culture in the USA$94062052 997 $aUNINA
