    CHICAGO CATHOLICS AND THE STRUGGLES WITHIN THEIR CHURCH
    ANDREW M. GREELEY
    What might one expect to learn from a probability sample study of the Archdiocese of Chicago? Can one form a national portrait of Catholics in the United States from data about Chicago? Certainly, Chicago is unique in its judgments about its clergy. As the eminent Catholic sociologist Andrew M. Greeley argues, it is this very difference that makes rigorous comparisons between C...

    THE CHANGING CATHOLIC COLLEGE
    ANDREW M. GREELEY
    Almost all of America's private colleges and universities started out as denominational schools, but connections with sponsoring churches gradually attenuated over the last century.

Catholic higher education is th...

    CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOLS AND MINORITY STUDENTS
    ANDREW M. GREELEY
    The number of minority students, many of them not Catholic, who have enrolled in Catholic secondary schools is substantial. Since it is reasonable to assume that the cost of tuition in such schools is considerable for a minority family, the phenomenon suggests that parents in these families believe that their children will obtain a better education in Catholic secondary schools...

    RELIGION IN EUROPE AT THE END OF THE SECOND MILLENIUM
    ANDREW M. GREELEY
    Most sociologists of religion describe a general decline in religious faith and practice in Europe over the last two centuries. The secularizing forces of the Enlightenment, science, industrialization, the influence of Freud and Marx, and urbanization are all felt to have diminished the power of the churches and demystified the human condition. In Andrew Greeley's view, such ov...

    GOD IN THE MOVIES
    ANDREW M. GREELEY
    The religious imagination is alive and well in the movies. Contrary to those who criticize Hollywood, popular movies very often have metaphorically represented God on the screen. From Clint Eastwood as an avenging angel in Pale Rider and Nicolas Cage as a lovesick angel in City of Angels to Jessica Lange as an angel of death in All That Jazz, and from George Burns as God in Oh,...

    Over sixty years have elapsed since the Communists gained control of the Chinese mainland.

The Chinese Eco...
