Catholic Social Imagination - Activism and the Just Society in Mexico and the United States

Zusammenfassung Aims to give readers a feeling for what it means to be Catholic and put one's faith into action. Tracing the practices of a group of parishioners in Oakland, California, and another in Guadalajara, this work reveals parallels - and contrasts - in the ways these ordinary Catholics receive and act on a church doctrine that emphasizes social justice.
