“…In the latter part of his career, as a professor in the Faculty of Education at the Catholic University of Sao Paulo, he was involved in a large project of popular education sponsored by the Archdiocese of Sao Paulo. [8] Although liberation theology and its advocates have received many setbacks during the conservative pontificate of John Paul II (1978-), a discourse and practice of liberation, solidarity, option for the poor, conscientization and education for critical literacy continues to be active in Latin America and in other settings which have been influenced by these radical transformations. In particular, Basic Christian Communities (Swope, 1992) represent a new form of adult education in deprived locations with radical potential.…”

This article is based upon the assumption that a comprehensive construct of sociological enquiry in education must include engagement with specific faith-based educational systems in various settings. The analysis presented here attempts to advance that process of engagement by examining, both theoretically and empirically, the role of contemporary Catholic schooling and its relations with class, inequality and social reproduction from an international perspective. The article outlines some critical perspectives on traditional Catholic culture and education using concepts drawn from the work of Gramsci and of Bourdieu. The transformative potential of the Second Vatican Council (1962Council ( -1965) is then discussed, followed by a consideration of contemporary empirical studies of Catholic schooling. Throughout the analysis, Gramsci's concept of an ideological 'war of position' is applied to the internal relations of the Catholic Church and of Catholic education internationally. The need for further research into the power relations of the Catholic Church is indicated.
