As the Church employed a more positive approach to the world, voices in the Catholic milieu embraced a radical perspective, channeling the need for social justice for the poor and the oppressed. The alternative and complementary world views of ‘universalism’ and ‘liberation’ would drive the engagement of Catholics for generations to come, shaping the idea of international community in Catholic culture. Because of its traditional connection with the papacy and because of its prominent role in the map of European progressive Catholicism, Italy stands out as an ideal case study to follow these dynamics. By locating the Italian scenario in a broader geographical frame, \u003cem\u003eUniversalism and Liberation\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new vantage point from which to investigate the social and political relevance of religion in an age of crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e'...provides a substantial and important contribution to the debate on the intellectual history of Catholicism and its role in the culture of internationalism in the twentieth century.'\u003c\/i\u003eMassimo Faggioli, Catholic Historical Review, Autumn 2019 - https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/724059\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe context \u003cbr\u003eDefinitions and literature \u003cbr\u003ePeriodization \u003cbr\u003eThe Italian case \u003cbr\u003eGoals of the research \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Catholic Culture and the Idea of International Community \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe legacy of 'Traditional Universalism' \u003cbr\u003eFrom Traditional to New Universalism: a change of climate in the Catholic culture \u003cbr\u003e'New Universalism': the Magisterium's discourse under Paul VI \u003cbr\u003eAn alternative perspective?
