In recent decades, policies and practices of “decline” have shaped what, where, and who Philadelphia’s Catholicism is. This talk will look beyond parish closures to examine the impact of other archdiocesan policies of decline (such as school closures and church relegations) in shaping the institutional presence and demographic composition of the twenty-first century church.
Speaker: Madeline Gambino, Ph.D. candidate, Princeton University
Madeline Gambino is a PhD candidate in the Department of Religion at Princeton University. She is currently working on a dissertation that draws upon ethnographic, archival, and digital humanities methods to map the historical roots of Catholic institutional decline in Philadelphia and to examine the dynamic practices and discourses that emerge from and respond to these changes.
