The authors’ extensive qualitative investigation involving various Catholic constituents demonstrates the complex ways attitudes are formed. Based on interviews with priests, Catholic parishioners, anti-abortion activists and Catholics living in close proximity to activism, this book takes a lived religion approach to argue that attitudes and approaches to abortion are nuanced and contextual, with the Catholic concept of individual conscience playing a fundamental role in navigating abortion issues. Ultimately, this investigation helps to explore in much greater depth the increased liberalisation in attitudes among Catholics towards abortion, at a time when Catholic activism opposing abortion is growing, and therefore shines a light on the conflicts that are apparent at the heart of Catholic parishes. This book will be of interest to scholars in Gender and Sexuality Studies, Sociology, Theology and Religious Studies. . 0aReligion and sociology.968604 0aSex.966477 0aCatholic Church.975021 0aKnowledge, Sociology of.14aSociology of Religion.96860624aGender Studies.96647824aCatholicism.97502224aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse.1 aLowe, Pam.eauthor.4aut4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut9754472 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303154691408iPrinted edition:z978303154693808iPrinted edition:z9783031546945 0aPalgrave Studies in Lived Religion and Societal Challenges,x2946-440497544840uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-54692-1  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c59242d59242
