Local Church Global Church: Catholic Activism in Latin America from Rerum Novarum to Vatican II

Best.-Nr. A9780813227917Hardback. New. This important volume investigates the many forms of Catholic activism in Latin America between the 1890s and 1962 from the publication of the papal encyclical Rerum Novarum to the years just prior to the Second Vatican Council. It argues that this period saw a variety of lay and clerical responses to the social changes wrought by industrialization political upheavals and mass movements and increasing secularization. Spurred by these local developments as well as by initiatives from the Vatican and galvanized by national projects of secular state-building Catholic activists across Latin America developed new ways of organizing in order to effect social and political change within their communities. Additionally Catholic responses to the nation-state during this period as well as producing profound social foment within local and national communities gave rise to a multitude of transnational movements that connected Latin American actors to counterparts in North America and Europe. The Catholic Church presents a particularly cohesive example of a transnational religious network. In this framework Catholic organizations at the local national and transnational level were linked via pastoral initiatives to the papacy while maintaining autonomy at the local level. In studies of the nineteenth- and twentieth-century Catholic renewal in Europe and the Americas scholars have rarely given ample analysis of the translocal and transnational interconnections within the Catholic Church which became critical to the energy plurality and endurance of Latin American Catholic activism leading up to and moving through the Second Vatican Council. By studying Latin America as a whole Local Church Global Church examines a larger degree of transnational and translocal complexity and its investigative lens spans regional hemispheric transatlantic and international borders. Furthermore it sheds new light on the complex and multifarious forms of Catholic activism introducing a fascinating cast of actors from lay organizations missionary groups devotional societies and student activists. hardcover

The Vatican and Catholic Activism in Mexico and Chile The Politics of Transnational Catholicism 1920-1940 Oxford Historical Monographs

2014Best.-Nr. U1-JJF0-KZBJ2014 OUP hardcover edition. Some reading wear curve to boards else good condition. As in Europe secular nation building in Latin America challenged the traditional authority of the Roman Catholic Church in the early twentieth century. In response Catholic social and political movements sought to contest state-led secularisation and provide an answer to the 'social question' the complex set of problems associated with urbanisation industrialisation and poverty. As Catholics mobilised against the secular threat they also struggled with each other to define the proper role of the Church in the public sphere. This study utilizes recently opened files at the Vatican pertaining to Mexico's post-revolutionary Church-state conflict known as the Cristero Rebellion 1926-1929. However looking beyond Mexico's exceptional case the work employs a transnational framework enabling a better understanding of the supranational relationship between Latin American Catholic activists and the Vatican. To capture this world historical context Andes compares Mexico to Chile's own experience of religious conflict. Unlike past scholarship which has focused almost exclusively on local conditions Andes seeks to answer how diverse national visions of Catholicism responded to papal attempts to centralize its authority and universalize Church practices worldwide.
