Catholicism has had an important place in Macau since the earliest
days of Portuguese colonization in the sixteenth century. This
book, based on extensive original research including in-depth
interviews, examines in detail the everyday life of Catholics in
Macau at present. It outlines the tremendous societal pressures
which Macau is currently undergoing - sovereignty handover and its
consequences, the growth of casinos and tourism and the
transformation of a serene and somewhat obscure colony into a
vibrantly developing city. It shows how, although the formal
structures of Catholicism no longer share in rule by the colonial
power, and although formal religious observance is declining,
nevertheless the personal piety and ethical religious outlook of
individual Catholics continue to be strong, and have a huge, and
possibly increasing, impact on public life through the application
of personal religious ethics to issues of human rights and social
justice and in the fields of education and social services.
