“…For the purposes of this article, though, we believe the Protestant category juxtaposed to Catholics captures a fundamental cleavage in the Latino population. For example, while there are various Protestant traditions and congregations among Latinos—mainline, evangelical, and Pentecostal—the fundamental fissure of “not being Catholic” applies to all of them; the most salient “they” that may unify a Protestant Latino “we” is Catholicism (Hunt ; Sanchez‐Walsh ; Vasquez ). Moreover, evangelicalism and Pentecostalism dominate Protestantism in Latin America and among Latinos in the United States (Martin ; Putnam and Campbell ; Stoll ), as they also overwhelmingly do in our sample .…”

Despite the pervasiveness of Catholicism among Latinos, studies reveal an increasing shift toward Protestantism. Examining the relationship between religion and ethnicity, we explore homeland language use as a core ethnic marker using a survey from the Pew Hispanic Center. Results reveal that Catholic Latinos are significantly more likely to use Spanish at home, even after controlling for other key variables. In response, we posit that Latino Catholicism and Protestantism entail significantly different religiosities in both home and host countries that impact Latino ethnic identification and its markers such as language use. Catholicism displays a higher level of inculturation in the sending country and greater overt institutional acceptance of ethnic culture in host countries. Protestantism in Latin America breaks with localized religiosity and traditions, and U.S. Protestant congregations may de‐emphasize ethnic culture in their theologies and worship. Hence, Latino Catholicism acts as a bridge to homelands and reinforces ethnic salience, thereby supporting continued Spanish use at home. In contrast, Protestants embrace a reorienting religiosity that often presides over ethnic identification, decreasing the salience of homeland cultural markers.

“…A commonality observed includes the participation of many churchgoers, and not just a pastor and a few leaders (Soliván, 1996). In addition, the pastor and sermon have central roles in worship services in Latin America and in Latino churches in the U.S. (Costas, 1974;Vasquez, 1999).…”

“…Immigrants of various backgrounds seem to band together after immigration and create something new-a new community, a new sense of identity and purpose. Vasquez (1999) describes similarly that at least one Latino Pentecostal church "define[s] their collective identity as membership in a 'multi-national' community of the saved, a community that cuts across narrow notions of national identity" (p. 624). Calvillo and Bailey (2015) also highlight the religious identity that deepens the connections in this pan-Latino context:…”

a communication Division, Pepperdine university, 24255 Pacific coast hwy, malibu, ca 90263, usa; b World languages, George fox university, 414 n. meridian st., newberg, or 97132, usa ABSTRACTThe Latino ethnic/immigrant church plays a significant role in maintaining the ethnic identity of its congregants. Through the perspective of structuration theory, this qualitative analysis investigates how the activities of the church impact its members and how an individual might contribute to the cultural structure of the Latino church (i.e., duality of structure). Interviews of 25 pastors from Spanish-speaking congregations in both urban and rural settings in Oregon resulted in several themes including the initial planting of the church, the denominational structure, the emergence of a new multiethnic cultural identity, generational differences, and the influence of Spanish.

“…El quart esdeveniment que em sembla imprescindible destacar -i que considero un dels més rellevants, malgrat que hagi passat força desapercebutés el creixement extraordinari del pentecostalisme arreu del món i, especialment, a l'Amèrica Llatina (Martin, 1990;Bastian, 1997;Vasquez, 1999). El pentecostalisme, que neix a Los Angeles a principis del segle xx, és un corrent protestant caracteritzat pel minimalisme doctrinal, per la important dotació expressivoemocional del culte i per la seva flexibilitat organitzativa i doctrinal que el converteixen en un «producte» fàcilment exportable i/o adaptable a contextos molt diversos (Griera, 2013).…”

ResumL'article pren com a punt de partida el text de Joan Estruch publicat en aquesta mateixa revista l'any 1981, on el sociòleg advertia sobre la necessitat d'abandonar el paradigma de la secularització. En aquesta mateixa línia, el present article té la finalitat d'examinar críticament les transformacions més rellevants que s'han produït en matèria de religió en els darrers trenta anys i aprofundir en les causes i les conseqüències d'aquests canvis. L'article és fruit del diàleg i l'intercanvi entre el treball de camp realitzat en el marc de diversos projectes de recerca empírics fets a Catalunya i les aportacions teòriques de la comunitat -cada vegada més nombrosa-de científics socials que investiguen sobre qüestions relacionades amb la religió. Abstract. Beyond the «secularization myth»: spiritual effervescence, religious identities and transcendent experiencesThe article takes as its starting point the text of Joan Estruch published in this same journal in 1981, where the sociologist warned about the need to abandon the paradigm of secularization. In the same vein, this article aims to examine critically the most significant changes that have occurred regarding religion in the last thirty years and delve into the causes and consequences of these changes. The article is the result of dialogue and exchange between fieldwork carried out within the framework of several empirical research projects done in Catalonia and theoretical contributions of growing community of social scientists who investigate questions related with religion. IntroduccióSon tiempos teológicos, Carvalho, cualquier afirmación sobre el futuro es teológica, porque nadie lo ha diseñado y el neodeterminismo capitalista se ha cargado la esperanza, es decir, el futuro como religión, tal como lo proponía Bloch. Por eso el gran mercado del próximo siglo será el religioso. Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. El hombre de mi vidaEra l'any 1981 quan Enrahonar va publicar un número monogràfic al voltant de la religió. La revista va gaudir de la col·laboració del professor Joan Estruch, qui, des d'una perspectiva sociològica, va reflexionar al voltant del fenomen de la secularització amb un article titulat «El mite de la secularització». En aquell article, Estruch advertia sobre la necessitat d'abandonar el paradigma de la secularització i construir una nova mirada sobre el fet religiós. Han passat més de trenta anys des de llavors i avui torna a ser pertinent interrogar-se sociològicament sobre les transformacions en el camp religiós i examinar críticament les aportacions científiques en aquest terreny.Deixeu-nos fer palès, d'entrada, que les reflexions que féu Estruch en aquell moment continuen tenint plena vigència -o fins i tot en tenen més-en el context actual. Rellegir avui el seu text fa evident el caràcter pioner i innovador dels seus arguments. L'objectiu d'aquest article no és, per tant, revisar críticament les aportacions d'Estruch, sinó agafar-les com a punt de partida per dibuixar i comprendre com s'ha reconfigurat la mirada sobre el fet religiós en ...
