Transformation of American Catholicism The Pittsburgh Laity and the Second Vatican Council, 1950-1972

Informationen zum Autor Timothy Kelly is associate professor of history at Saint Vincent College. Klappentext Examines the Pittsburgh Diocese (1950s-1970s) to reveal how the Second Vatican Council fits within a longer history of changes already taking place in the Catholic Church. Zusammenfassung Various scholars and media analysts have suggested that Vatican II revolutionized American Catholicism, with the changes it mandated filtering down from the Council to the church hierarchy to the laity. The author challenges this assumption, based on his tracing of Catholic lay practices in the Pittsburgh Diocese from the 1950s through the 1970s.
