La familia, ayer hoy y siempre
La familia es, y ha sido, el espacio privilegiado, único e irreemplazable en la vida de las personas. Y eso, que a veces parece obvio pero en otros momentos no tan claro, es lo que este libro nos evidencia. En todo tiempo la familia ha estado al centro de la vida personal y social. Por cierto, lo ha estado de diversos modos, con distintos énfasis, con transformaciones, pero, con todo, siempre al centro. Ese ha sido además, el objetivo de las siete versiones de las conferencias que han servido de base a esta publicación, dictadas por cada uno de sus autores con ocasión del Seminario con que cada año inauguramos la nueva versión del Diplomado Familia y Sociedad que impartimos. Nuestra intención ha sido propiciar una reflexión en torno a la familia desde las distintas perspectiva que una mirada evolutiva nos puede dar
Volunteering for a Cause
This thoughtful study challenges a number of widespread assumptions about the role of Catholicism in Mexican history by examining two related Catholic charities: the male Society of St. Vincent de Paul and the Ladies of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. With thousands of volunteers, these lay groups not only survived the liberal reforms of the mid-nineteenth century but thrived, offering educational, medical, and other services to hundreds of thousands of poor people. Arrom stresses the prominence of women among the volunteers, showing the many ways that Catholicism promoted Mexican modernization rather than being an obstacle to it. Moreover, by reinserting religion into public life, these organizations defied the secularizing policies of the Mexican government. By comparing the male and female organizations collectively, the work shows that the relationship between gender, faith, and charity was much more complicated than is usually believed, with devout men and women supporting the Catholic project in complementary ways.
