Based on a decade of field research, Crossing Swords is the first
book-length, scholarly examination in English of the role of
Catholicism in Mexican society from the 1970s to 1995, and the
increasing political activism of the Catholic church and clergy.
The book provides the first analysis of church-state relations in
Latin America that incorporates detailed interviews with numerous
bishops and clergy and leading politicians about how they see each
other and how religion influences their values. Camp offers an
inside look at the decision-making process of bishops at the
diocesan level and draws on national survey research to examine
prevailing Mexican attitudes toward religion, Christianity, and
Catholicism both before, during, and after Mexico's constitutional
changes on church-state relations. Incorporating comparative
literature from the United States and Europe, Crossing Swords
reaches a number of challenging conclusions about the interlocking
relationship between religion and politics, casting light on both
general theoretical arguments and on the peculiarities of the
Mexican case. A comprehensive and original look at a topic of
importance well beyond Mexico, this book will be essential reading
for scholars and students of religion generally as well as those
involved with Latin America.
