Global Catholicism, Tolerance and the Open Society

By analyzing data from the World Values Survey and other global opinion polls, this book explores the political and social values of over 1.3 billion Catholics, the largest denomination in Western Christianity. It addresses critical issues the Church faces today, such as anti-Semitism, tolerance, and attitudes towards democracy. The authors provide insights into the Church's adaptation to modern societal demands, offering an anthropological perspective on its successes and shortcomings in fostering an open society.
