This is a study of the ways in which changing social expectations
among Indian Catholics confronted the Roman Church with new
questions, as well as giving fresh urgency to the old problem of
the persistence of caste among Christians. Low-caste restiveness
prompted different reactions among European missionaries and
high-caste Indian priests, and the socio-economic significance of
religious conversion became a problem that reached the level of the
Apostolic Delegate, and eventually of the Pope. The English brought
their social attitudes to India, where they became racial attitudes
while retaining their triple functions of supporting authority
structures, protecting vested interests and providing psychological
reinforcement, Roman Catholic missionaries came from different
European countries and brought with them different national
attitudes to social mores. A major question asked in this book is
how far such national differences were reflected in attitudes to
caste, class and sexual behaviour, how similar were the attitudes
of Indian Christians, and how far the functions of such attitudes
remained constant.
