Catholic Activism Today - (Religion and Social Transformation) by Maureen K Day (Hardcover)

The book "Catholic Activism Today" by Maureen K.

Day is a thought-provoking exploration of the role religion plays in individual transformation and social justice activism.

The author sheds light on the limitations of popular organizations such as JustFaith Ministries, which focus on mobilizing Catholics as individuals rather than collectives.

While these programs experience robust participation and report transformative effects on participants' lives, they fail to address structural social inequalities.

Day argues that this approach undermines the institutional authority of the Catholic Church, shifting Americans' perceptions of the Church from a hierarchy to a more individualized focus.

Despite these limitations, "Catholic Activism Today" offers valuable insights into the complex relationship between religion and social justice activism, making it an essential read for anyone interested in this critical topic.
