The Catholic social imagination : activism and the just society in Mexico and the United States / Joseph M. Palacios. - Chicago : University of Chicago Press, ©2007. - 1 online resource (xii, 315 pages) - Morality and society series . - Morality and society. .
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The Catholic Church takes on social justice as doctrine. The mission and struggle of Roman Catholics to create a just society -- Political and cultural construction of the Catholic social doctrine -- One church, one border, two justices. The U.S. case : pragmatic and practice oriented -- The Mexican case : doctrinally oriented -- A faith that does justice? The Catholic social imagination as doctrine and practice --- Appendix A: Principles of Catholic social justice doctrine -- Appendix B: Research sites and instruments.
The reach of the Catholic Church is arguably greater than that of any other religion, extending across diverse political, ethnic, class, and cultural boundaries. But what is it about Catholicism that resonates so profoundly with followers who live under disparate conditions? What is it, for instance, that binds parishioners in America with those in Mexico? For Joseph M. Palacios, what unites Catholics is a sense of being Catholic--a social imagination that motivates them to promote justice and build a better world. In The Catholic Social Imagination, Palacios gives readers a feeling for what it.
