Abstract:
AbstractBy way of critical appreciation, the author (an evangelical) investigates David Tracy's analysis of the Catholic imagination in relation to popular religiosity and inculturation in lowland Philippines. A survey of contemporary Evangelical and Roman Catholic views on folk religiosity sets the stage for the study as a whole. To explain and highlight the missiological significance of Tracy's approach, this study makes use of contemporary religio-philosophical (hermeneutical) and missiological perspectives. Such perspectives open up the missiological usefulness of Tracy's socio-theological analysis of the Catholic imagination especially for religionists and missiologists. They also point to the naturalistic limitations of Tracy's revisionist understanding of religion even as it encounters a non-Western religious outlook such as in the Philippines. A conversation with Tracy's approach becomes an instance of dialogue between Roman Catholics and Evangelicals not only on folk Catholicism, but also on revelation, inculturation and mission.

Abstract:
In this article, I look at how popular hymnody and the surrounding devotional and liturgical practices changed after the Second Vatican Council in Hungary. The songs amongst authoritarian, atheistic circumstances sounded astonishingly similar to the emerging “folk mass movement”. The discourse analysis of Hungarian popular hymnody contributes to a new perspective of Eastern European Catholicism and helps us understand how “lived Catholicism” reflects the post-Vatican spirit. Post-Vatican popular hymnody, a catalyst for a new style of devotional practices, is understood as “performed theology” behind the Iron Curtain expressing relationality, as it actualizes and manifests spiritual, eschatological, and ecclesial relationships.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explored a regional comparison of education in post-revolutionary Mexico. It involved a micro-look into the relationship between violence, education, religion, and politics in the states of Durango and Jalisco. Research methods included primary sources and microfilms from the National Archives State Department records related to education from the internal affairs of Mexico from 1930-1939 from collection file M1370. It also utilized G-2 United States Military Intelligence reports as well as records from the British National Archives dealing with church and state relations in Mexico from 1920-1939. Anti - clericalism in the 1920’s led to violent backlash in rural regions of Durango and Jalisco called the Cristero rebellion. A second phase of the Cristero rebellion began in the 1930s, which was aimed at ending state-led revolutionary secular education and preserving the folk Catholic education system. There existed a unique ritualized culture of violence for both states. Violence against state-led revolutionary secular educators was prevalent at the primary and secondary education levels in Durango and Jalisco. Priests served as both religious leaders and rebel activists. At the higher education level there existed a split of the University of Guadalajara but no violence against educators. There existed four competing factions involved in this intellectual battle: communists followed Marx, anarchistic autonomous communists, urban folk modern Catholics, and student groups who sought reunion of the original university. This thesis described how these two states and how they experienced their unique culture of violence during the 1930s. It suggested a new chronology of the Cristero rebellion. This comparison between two regions within the broader context of the country and its experiences during the 1930s allowed for analysis in regards to education, rebellion, religion, and politics.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the Templo Santa Muerte in Los Angeles, a small, loosely organized spiritual group dedicated to the veneration of La Santa Muerte, or the Holy Death. Although originating in the urban barrios (neighborhoods) of Mexico City, Santa Muerte is now venerated in the southwestern United States as well, primarily among working-class Mexican Americans. Although Santa Muerte has been condemned by the Catholic clergy and vilified in mass media and popular culture for its ties to crime and gang violence, my fieldwork at the Templo Santa Muerte demonstrates that not all devotees of Santa Muerte can be characterized in this way. For Templo members, Santa Muerte is foremost a supernatural instrument whose appeal is in large part derived from her singular commitment to satisfying their corporeal needs and material wishes. While this quality is also attributed to many Catholic saints, Santa Muerte is believed to operate independently of Church orthodoxy and is viewed to be more powerful because of this. The Templo Santa Muerte, on the other hand, incorporates some features of formal Catholic liturgy while simultaneously organizing its services around the individual petitions of its members. In doing so, the Templo’s founders maintain an effective balance between liturgical features familiar to their mostly Catholic members and the fundamentally instrumental relationship they have with Santa Muerte. I argue that this balance is central to the appeal of the Templo and to the logic of its founders, who took advantage of the tolerant and diverse cultural atmosphere of Los Angeles to establish a spiritual enterprise that is truly the first of its kind. My methodology and theoretical approach acknowledges this, favoring an ethnographic examination grounded in respondent testimonies, direct observations, and relevant ethnohistorical interpretations of the symbolism and ritual behavior associated with Santa Muerte. At its most general, my analysis of the cult and Templo of Santa Muerte is framed around three separate but mutually interactive and informative dimensions: the instrumental and social manifestations of the cult and Templo, respectively, and the structuring influence that Catholic soteriology and cultural materialism exerts over both.

This dissertation examines the Presence of the Sacred in Brazilian Country Roots Music mainly focused on songs of the duo Tião Carreiro and Pardinho. By this way, a historical study of hillbilly music, hillbilly traditions and hillbilly culture is done. Through the same historical perspective is carried out a research on the life and work of the duo Tiao Carreiro and Pardinho, and finally analyzes the presence of the sacred in its music and in other duo artists music. With this dissertation, we attempt to observe the religious expression found in Brazilian country roots music, but also other religious events found in the music of the highlighted duo. In regard to the presence of sacred in songs the difference from this duo to the others duo artists is the fact that its songs contain other manifestations of religiosity beyond Brazilian popular catholicism.
A presente dissertação versa sobre a Presença do Sagrado na Música de Raiz Caipira Brasileira, mais especificamente analisa as músicas da dupla caipira Tião Carreiro e Pardinho. Dessa forma realiza-se um estudo histórico da música caipira, das tradições caipiras e da cultura caipira. Na mesma perspectiva histórica é feita uma pesquisa sobre a vida e a obra da dupla Tião Carreiro e Pardinho, e por fim apresenta-se uma análise da presença do sagrado nas músicas caipiras desta e de outras duplas. Esta dissertação procura observar as manifestações religiosas encontradas na música caipira, como também outras faces religiosas presentes nas músicas da dupla em destaque. Em se tratando da presença do sagrado, a diferença dessa dupla das demais está no fato de conter em suas músicas outras manifestações da religiosidade brasileira além do catolicismo popular.

Abstract:
Ritos de magia e sobrevivência tem como tema central as manifestações mágico-religiosas em seus nexos com a história social do Brasil e de São Paulo dos últimos anos do século XIX às primeiras décadas do século XX. A temática foi sugerida inicialmente pelo nosso trabalho de mestrado e pela documentação criminal da segunda metade do século XIX que chamou a atenção para a importância de uma religiosidade difusa, no geral oriunda das crenças afro-brasileiras, no processo de luta contra a reificação pretendida pelo regime da dominação escravista e por seus efeitos no pós-Abolição. Impregnada na organização do dia-a-dia das populações urbanas e rurais, muitas delas oriundas da condição escrava, manifesta na ação de curandeiros, feiticeiros, pitonisas e benzedeiras, insinuou a força de uma sensibilidade religiosa que se transformava muitas vezes em componente essencial de processos cognitivos e de uma concepção de mundo capaz de fornecer os referenciais para que tais grupos pudessem pensar a sua condição social e se compatibilizar com a sociedade mais ampla. De outra parte, nos quadros das transformações que se operavam no período, não se tratava de uma simples permanência de ritos e crenças, em continuidade com as tradições do catolicismo popular e dos ritos afro-brasileiros, mas de um processo de acentuada revivescência das mais variadas correntes de pensamento mágico e místico, denotando em outros termos os ritmos e as direções dos processos históricos em curso. A história da cidade nessa época, marcada pelo crescimento espantoso do número de habitantes, vinha inscrita também no alastramento das vertentes do pensamento espiritualista: a difusão do espiritismo, as teorias e práticas relacionadas ao magnetismo animal, a ciência do ocultismo, a quiromancia e a cartomancia mesclavam-se às tradições existentes e acabavam por moldar práticas e figuras multifacetadas. Além disso, aludiam ao clima de insegurança social, à mobilidade de contingentes populacionais imigrantes, migrantes e negros, às oscilações implícitas nos processos históricos em curso e, indiretamente, ofereciam um quadro revelador do custo social da urbanização e da modernização. Emprestando os termos de Oswaldo Xidieh (1944), senhores e senhoras em idade provecta, negras velhas e macumbeiros, parteiras e carolas, curandeiros e benzedeiras, rezadores e tiradores de cobra, capelães e cozinheiras, amas-secas e mumbavas, crias e cantadores, folientos do Divino, penitentes andarilhos e beatas são os sujeitos desse estudo.
This thesis, Ritos de magia e sobrevivência, is focused on magical-religious manifestations in its links with Social History of Brazil and São Paulo in the last years of the nineteenth century to the early decades of the twentieth century. The theme was originally suggested by our previous research based on criminal documentation of the second half of the nineteenth century that drew attention to the importance of a diffuse religiosity, in general originated from the African-Brazilian beliefs, in the struggle against reification intended by slavery and their effects on post-Abolition. Steeped in the organization of everyday life of urban and rural populations, many of them coming from the slave condition, manifested in the action of healers, shamans, and pythoness, the strength of a religious sensibility became an essential component of cognitive processes and a conception of the world able to provide references for such groups could think about their social status and be compatible with the wider society. On the other hand, in the frames of transformations operated in this period, in continuity with the traditions of popular Catholicism and African-Brazilians rites, in a stead process of revival of the most various currents of mystical thought and magic, the religious dimension denote in other terms the historical process in progress. São Paulo´ History at this time, marked by phenomenal growth in the number of inhabitants, was also marked by the spread of spiritual strands of thought: the diffusion of spiritualism, the theories and practices related to Animal Magnetism, the Occultism, the Cartomancy mixed with ancient traditions and practices and ultimately shape different figures. Moreover, allude to the climate of social insecurity, the mobility of population groups of immigrants, migrants and blacks population, and also fluctuations implicit in ongoing historical processes, reveal indirectly the social cost of urbanization and modernization. Borrowing the terms of Oswaldo Xidieh (1944), \"lords and ladies in ripe age, old black and macumbeiros, pious and midwives, healers and faith healers, chanters, chaplains and cooks, nannies and mumbavas, and young singers , folientos the Divine, wanderers and penitents butts \"are the subjects of this study.

Abstract:
This book investigates the flight of young Jewish women from their Orthodox, mostly Hasidic, homes in Western Galicia (now Poland) in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In extreme cases, hundreds of these women sought refuge in a Kraków convent, where many converted to Catholicism. Those who stayed home often remained Jewish in name only. The book reconstructs the stories of three Jewish women runaways and reveals their struggles and innermost convictions. Unlike Orthodox Jewish boys, who attended “cheders,” traditional schools where only Jewish subjects were taught, Orthodox Jewish girls were sent to Polish primary schools. When the time came for them to marry, many young women rebelled against the marriages arranged by their parents, with some wishing to pursue secondary and university education. After World War I, the crisis of the rebellious daughters in Kraków spurred the introduction of formal religious education for young Orthodox Jewish women in Poland, which later developed into a worldwide educational movement. The book chronicles the belated Orthodox response and argues that these educational innovations not only kept Orthodox Jewish women within the fold but also foreclosed their opportunities for higher education. Exploring the estrangement of young Jewish women from traditional Judaism in Habsburg Galicia at the turn of the twentieth century, the book brings to light a forgotten yet significant episode in Eastern European history.

Full text
Abstract:
Stanley Brandes is an American sociocultural anthropologist whose work spans both European and Latin American peasantries. In this article Brandes describes a kind of Catholicism characteristic of peasant villages of the Iberian peninsula: locally inflected by rites and practices particular to specific regions, and organizationally overlapping with kinship and territorial corporate groups. At the broadest level, the essay offers a set of reflections about processes of modernization and secularization, viewed through a classic set of anthropological oppositions: collective/individual, rural/urban, great/little. More specifically, however, it tells us something interesting about the impact of Vatican II reforms on the ground. Brandes argues that what might be read as “secularization” is, in the village of Becedas, a function of processes internal to religion itself. Today, in light of works such as Charles Taylor’s A Secular Age, this line of argument has become quite familiar. Yet as Brandes’s ethnography suggests, ruminations around the polemic between belief and unbelief have not merely been the preserve of scholars and philosophers; they have inflected the lives of ordinary Catholic peasants as well. Through Brandes we see how Becedas villagers narrate, in their own idiom, the development of the idea of “the secular” as something that is contingent upon the history of Christianity in the West. By exploring the disjuncture between Catholic “great and little” traditions Brandes touches on one of the most interesting pressure points within the anthropology of Catholicism: the division of labor between the clergy and the lay. Such a division may map with varying intensities onto other distinctions, such as those between elite and folk, or educated and uneducated, and even onto distinctly differing ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. Whether or not clergy are perceived as “cultural outsiders” in the communities they serve, where a person stands within the institutional hierarchy matters. That is, Catholic subjectivities are incontrovertibly shaped by an individual’s relationship to or position in relation to the church. Belonging to the priesthood thus diminishes the possibilities for certain abstractions and sensorial trajectories, just as it makes others imminently actualizable. In the particular context being described here, the priest, Don Sixto, sees “folk Catholicism” a bit the way a radical Protestant sees Roman Catholicism: as a Christianity contaminated. His work is one of purification: separating true belief from “blind adherence to custom.” For parishioners, however, there is no a priori concept of a religion “contaminated.” There is only a corpus of devotions whose gradual elimination leaves a sense of spiritual vacuum. By foregrounding a “perspectival” approach split between the view of the priest, the people, and the anthropologist, Brandes allows us to grasp the structural tensions that propel different versions of what is correct and what is proper in Christian forms of practice. Brandes’s article might be read in some ways as a tentative exploration of the interesting and often fraught role Catholic priests perform in their day-to-day ministry as mediators between the center and the periphery, and old and new, in the great march of Christian modernity.

Abstract:
Archbishop John Hughes created Manhattan’s Holy Cross Parish in 1852 to serve the thousands of Irish Catholics moving north of Lower Manhattan into what became known as Longacre Square (later Times Square) and the developing neighborhood of Hell’s Kitchen. Holy Cross maintained a strong Irish American identity into the mid-twentieth century, and its path charted the transformation of the disciplined folk piety created by the “devotional revolution” in Ireland in the nineteenth century into an American Catholicism dominated by Irish American clergy who sought to defend communalistic Catholic distinctiveness amid the rapid urban growth and burgeoning individualistic capitalism of a historically Protestant nation. In the early twentieth century, clergy and laity at Holy Cross converted Irish Catholic longing for an independent Irish nation and ambivalence about American society into a powerful synthesis of Irish American culture and American patriotism. In subsequent decades, Irish American Catholics at Holy Cross also participated in an emergent reactionary critique of the changing sexual mores and increasing ethnic and racial diversity of urban America. The white ethnic Catholic stance on American social change would become a key rhetorical and ideological element of resurgent American conservatism in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Abstract:
Section 1 considers women’s faith, examining their conversions to Protestantism or re-admittance to the church after apostasy. It considers the questions of gradual or sudden conversions, and the appeal of both Protestantism and of Roman Catholicism to female believers. We examine evidence of Protestant devotion in consistorial cases, wills, and legacies, and the continuing influence of Roman Catholicism. This is seen in the large number of marriages at the Mass or of Protestant women to Roman Catholic men, attendance at the Mass, and in the ways Catholic ritual offered women solace. We also look at women’s resistance to religious authorities. Section 2 considers the use of ‘superstition’, divinatory practices, contact with the bohémiens, folk healers, and magic. We consider the evidence of popular beliefs in witchcraft and sorcery, set against consistorial scepticism towards witchcraft and greater concern with blasphemy.

Abstract:
Starting with mid-19th century, song collecting in Brittany has remained important especially as the status of the Breton language depreciated in favour of French. Today the traditional Breton ballads (gwerziou) are an important instrument of remembering and understanding of both the past of the Breton people, and of their culture, as well as treasure of folk Breton language. The present chapter aims at analysing the representations of women in the traditional Breton ballads, ranging from witches, such as in Janik Kokard's leprotic lover, sinners such as Mari Kelen or saints like Bertet, Virgin Mary's kind midwife, all with the end of understanding the engines that led to (un)customary representations in which the woman is portrayed as both by the gaze of male sovereignty and the restrictions and projections of Catholicism.

Full text
Abstract:
Our chapter addresses the prevention benefits of the juramento, a grassroots religious-based brief intervention for harmful drinking practiced in Mexico and the Mexican immigrant community in the United States. With origins in Mexican folk Catholicism, it is a sacred pledge made to Our Lady of Guadalupe to abstain from alcohol for a specific time period; in most cases, at least six months. We draw on our data from a subsample of 15 Mexican workers who made juramentos and two priests who administered the juramento to the workers. The sample is from a larger qualitative study on the use of the juramento among Mexican immigrant and migrant workers in southeastern Pennsylvania. Our findings reveal that, in addition to serving as an intervention, the juramento results in secondary prevention—by identifying a harmful drinking before the onset of heavy drinking—and tertiary prevention—by slowing or abating the progression of heavy drinking.

Abstract:
This chapter demonstrates how national parishes and their parochial schools were among the societal institutions that most effectively fostered the integration of European immigrants and their offspring. Attitudes of forced assimilation can lead to frustration and thwart newcomers' desire to integrate. Yet church congregations and organizations remain a refuge for many emigres and can help them and their children and grandchildren adapt to life in the United States. While across generations English language use and other influences of the U.S. milieu are inevitable, the relative success or failure of Latinos' incorporation into the U.S. Catholic Church enhances or inhibits that process. Within the Catholic fold itself, the progression from hospitality to homecoming remains a daunting challenge that many Hispanic ministry leaders concur has only begun to be addressed.
