Catholic Suburbs
Apparently, my last post wasn't clear enough, but I was not saying that suburbs are not really Catholic. I was talking about my feelings and perceptions, which I then discounted by noting their likely origins in the particularly urban experience of American Catholic immigrants. Nor is it the case that Catholic people might not have good reasons for choosing to relocate to the suburbs and live a vibrant spiritual life once they get there. The more important question for me is, instead, whether suburban development patterns raise questions that have traditionally been of concern to CST. I suggested a few possibilities. Neither Elizabeth nor Fr. Araujo's posts really go to that question, but I'm curious what they (or anyone else) think.
