Summary: Jerome Baggett conducted 300 intensive interviews with members of six parishes to explore all aspects of how Catholics balance the Church's ancient devotional practices with day-to-day life in the modern world. Moving beyond the simplistic categories of national surveys and the politically-motivated pronouncements of pundits, Sense of the Faithful ultimately paints a more complex--and more accurate--portrait of what it is like to be Catholic in America today.
