Hey there, Young Adult Catholics, who do you think you are? Fr. Tom Rausch, S.J., theologian from Loyola Marymount University, spoke at Seattle U. on Tuesday, March 6, on the topic of Pursuing Vatican II: Young Adult Catholics in a Culture of Choice.
He cited in large part a large study desgined by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate (CARA) at Georgetown University. This report was also cited in the Catholic News Service (Feb 7, 2007): "Young adult Catholics have a strong Catholic identity but do not feel much of a commitment to the institutional church or its moral teachings, two sociologists said Feb. 6 in Washington."
The actual book is titled American Catholics Today: New Realities of Their Faith and Their Church to be published in late March by Rowman & Littlefield. The authors are James A. Davidson, of Purdue University, Dean R. Hoge, of Catholic University of America, along with William V. D'Antonio of Catholic University and Mary L. Gautier of CARA. You can see for yourself in this link to a Special Report: Young Adult Catholics at the CARA website.
Is this you? What do you think?
