During the three decades from 1945 to 1975, the Catholic Church in
West Germany employed a broad range of methods from empirical
social research. Statistics, opinion polling, and organizational
sociology, as well as psychoanalysis and other approaches from the
"psy sciences," were debated and introduced in pastoral care. In
adopting these methods for their own work, bishops, parish clergy,
and pastoral sociologists tried to open the church up to modernity
in a rapidly changing society. In the process, they contributed to
the reform agenda of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).
Through its analysis of the intersections between organized
religion and applied social sciences, this award-winning book
offers fascinating insights into the trajectory of the Catholic
Church in postwar Germany.
