Religion Italian Style

This book argues that the relationship between religion and society in Italy has unique characteristics when compared with what is happening in other European Catholic Countries. Exploring key topics and religious trends which question how the population feel - from the laity and the role of religions in the public sphere, to moral debates, forms of religious pluralism, and new spiritualities - Garelli questions how intricately religion is interwoven with the nation's fabric and the dynamics of the whole society.
