It was a pleasure to join sociologists of religion from around the globe for the 2019 International Sociology of Religion (ISSR) Conference in Barcelona.
I along with colleagues Wojciech Sadlon (Institute for Catholic Church Statistics, Poland), Roberta Ricucci (University of Turin, Italy), and Robert Dixon (Australian Catholic University) organized a session on Catholicism and Global Challenges.
Using research from one of my book manuscripts in progress, I presented a paper entitled “Roman Catholic ‘Church’ 2.0: Religious Property, Adaptive Reuse, and Competing Narratives of Community in a Postsecular World.”
