Identifying the Catholic Men's Movement.
- Authors

- Abstract
When we think of the Christian men's movement we tend to think of Promise Keepers, but the Christian men's movement comprises various streams following different ideologies, theologies, and denominations. In this paper, the Catholic men's movement is highlighted. In particular, the paper shows how Catholic writers have been involved in the general Christian men's movement (suggesting interaction between the different streams), how Promise Keepers provided an organizational model for the Catholic men's movement, and how Catholic masculine performances repeat and differ from those of the wider Christian men's movement.
