Between individual Catholics and a global institution, thousands of local parishes remake Catholicism each day. With fresh data and sociological methods, this text shows how parishes are shaped by community, geography, and authority; how parishes respond to diversity and change; and how parishes worship and educate for the future of Catholicism.

Géographes et sociologues s’intéressent à la redéfinition du maillage paroissial par les institutions ecclésiastiques afin de proposer, à partir d’antiques territoires, des constructions territoriales adaptées aux nécessités du monde actuel. Ces analyses recoupent les renouvellements en cours de l’historiographie de la paroisse. Si celle-ci est bien une construction médiévale, il semble se confirmer qu’elle a mis plusieurs siècles à prendre forme selon des modalités diverses. Dans cette perspective, le modèle tridentin de territorialisation paroissiale qui s’est imposé à l’époque moderne apparaît plutôt comme une parenthèse entre deux perceptions plus communautaires que territoriales de la paroisse. Archéologues, géographes sociaux, historiens, juristes, sociologues ont entrepris d’inscrire leurs contributions dans une démarche interdisciplinaire. Ils explorent ainsi l’hypothèse selon laquelle les facteurs qui interviennent aujourd’hui dans le démontage de ce système spatial pourraient contribuer à éclairer les conditions de son montage (et réciproquement ?).

What role did the parish play in people's lives in England and Wales between 1700 and the mid-twentieth century? By comparison with globalisation and its dislocating effects, the book stresses how important parochial belonging once was. Professor Snell discusses themes such as settlement law and practice, marriage patterns, cultures of local xenophobia, the continuance of out-door relief in people's own parishes under the new poor law, the many new parishes of the period and their effects upon people's local attachments. The book highlights the continuing vitality of the parish as a unit in people's lives, and the administration associated with it. It employs a variety of historical methods, and makes important contributions to the history of welfare, community identity and belonging. It is highly relevant to the modern themes of globalisation, de-localisation, and the decline of community, helping to set such changes and their consequences into local historical perspective.
