| Summary: | Editor Hagopian follows her own introduction to this aptly titled work with ten chapters divided into four sections: pluralist challenges to the Catholic Church; responses by the Church; the Church, public policy, and democracy; and conclusions and suggestions for future research., Hagopian's introduction provides statistics, defines terms, and presents the landscape of religion in Latin America. Contributors assess the Church's response “to the challenges of secularism and eroding religious hegemony in a context of religious and political pluralism, how democracy has changed the church, and how religious change has impacted democratic politics in Latin America” (p. 4). |
