| Zusammenfassung: | Polarization among American Catholics has been a subject of both scholarly and media attention. Using a nationally representative survey of over 1500 Catholics, the first part of this article explores the extent to which race, gender, generation, and commitment to Catholicism shape polarization among Catholics; these different characteristics affect Catholics' political and civic beliefs and practices to varying degrees. The second part of the article parses Catholics into their political party groupings - Democrat, Republican, and Independent - to determine the ways party affiliation affects Catholics' understanding of non-political religious beliefs and practices. The analysis reveals that political divisions are evident among some of the Catholic subgroupings, but that theological unity nevertheless prevails across party lines. |
