The "Religious Factor" and Academic Careers: Another Communication

Abstract

Strong evidence indicates that, despite social, economic, historical, cultural, and perhaps religious obstacles, many more Catholics are electing academic careers. Little is known about either the facts or the dynamics of this change, and there seems to be little interest among sociologists or the funding agencies to inquire about it. While these changes occur, the long-standing assumption that the absence of Catholics in scholarly careers is a proof of Catholic intellectual inferiority remains essentially unchallenged.
