Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"By relating contemporary developments in the Roman Catholic Church to world systems theory, Budde is doing something quite original. His book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how the Church functions as a world-wide institution."—Larry Bennett, DePaul University
"This is an original synthesis of wide-ranging materials on the international Catholic Church, and the only application of world systems theory to the Catholic Church that I am aware of. With its synthetic vision and challenging combination of political, economic and ecclesiological analyses, this book could be extremely significant in setting the terms of the debate on the role of the Catholic Church in the international economy."—Eric O. Hanson, Santa Clara University
