CATH-123 Catholicism and Society

Gillis, Chester

This course will examine Roman Catholicism in America. While the course will survey the history and development of American Catholicism, the main focus will be a portrait of contemporary Catholicism, especially since Vatican II. It will study American Catholic relations with Rome, the changing composition of the American Catholic population, dispositions of American Catholics towards practices and beliefs, and challenges such as the decline in the number of clergy, women's roles, and ethical dilemmas the Church faces in the twenty-first century. This course satisfies one semester of the College Theology requirement. (Offered in 2005-06)
