The Oxford History of British and Irish Catholicism, Volume V: Recapturing the Apostolate of the Laity, 1914-2021

Research output: Book/ReportBookpeer-review

Abstract

Twentieth-century Catholicism in Britain and on the island of Ireland has not been the subject of sustained comparative analysis until the assembly of chapters within this volume. Key themes explored include: the increasing role and importance of the laity, the reception and impact of the Second Vatican Council (1962–5), shifting configurations of Church-State relations and challenges (within and outside the Church) to institutional authority and legitimacy, including the impact of child sexual abuse. The original and synoptic chapters assembled integrate historiographies often quarantined from each other and offer fresh insight into historical debates about secularization, permissiveness, modernity, decline and dechristianisation into the twenty-first century
