| Resumo: | Catholic Pentecostalism is a rapidly growing movement within the American Catholic Church that mainly appeals to college students, middle-class adults and clergy. Observation, interviews and questionnaire data on participants and nonparticipants illuminated sources of recruitment to the movement. More generic factors than the forms of economic and social deprivation so often emphasized in the study of religious movements appear to facilitate recruitment to Catholic Pentecostalism and other movements. People are more likely to be attracted to a movement who are exposed to it in person, share its problem-solving perspective, have few social obligations that might conflict with membership, and have or develop social relationships with members. These factors appear to have an additive impact on the likelihood of recruitment. They are probably only necessary conditions for recruitment to highly unconventional movements requiring intense commitments. |
