The Spirit's Tether: Family, Work, and Religion among American Catholics
Konieczny, Mary Ellen (Assistant Professor of Sociology, Assistant Professor of Sociology, University of Notre Dame, South Bend, IN, USA)
Through detailed ethnographic analysis of one conservative and one progressive parish, this book reveals how church metaphors and religious identities matter to parishioners' marriages, childrearing, and work-family balance; connect everyday life with public politics; and unintentionally fragment the Catholic tradition.
