Is this book truly worthy of its own Wikipedia page?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:36DF:56F0:687D:22AD:BB35:5D88 (talk) 13:40, 14 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Notes on the book reviews

edit

In Preuss p. 564, the book reviewer mentions that the priests Patricio Flores and Father James A. Tamayo are mentioned in the book, and Preuss mentions Flores becoming the Archbishop of San Antonio (first Mexican-American archbishop, highest ranking Mexican American in the church) and Tamayo becoming the bishop of the Laredo diocese WhisperToMe (talk) 23:45, 13 July 2014 (UTC)Reply

In p. 214 of his review Carroll discusses the "dichotomies" point.

  • "For example, did Mexican-American ethno-Catholicism promote or hinder assimilation? Wrong question, he suggests. A better question: in what ways did the same devotion (notably, devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe) sometimes promote both a distinct ethnic identity and sometimes accommodation to the surrounding culture?"

In p. 214-215 Carroll mentioned that Trevino wanted to discuss why sometimes men have more religious activity than women if certain conditions are true, even though women are usually more religious than men

  • p. 215 of Carroll: "True, Treviño's own answer here (men are attracted to religious practices that re-inforce the imagery associated with traditional male gender roles) could be expanded a bit. But at least he asks the question in a way that gets us beyond the usual "women are more religious than men" rhetoric."

In p. 215 Carroll disagrees with Trevino on whether both Italian and Mexican ethnoCatholicisms were "pre-Tridentine" but he agrees with the idea that Mexican and Italian ethnoCatholics didn't experience the "devotional revolution" found in both the US and Europe among Irish and Polish as well as other Catholic groups WhisperToMe (talk) 00:31, 14 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
