Title: Class and religious identity
First published: 2000
Description: "This monograph provides a full and detailed account of the Rhineland's rich mileu of Catholic political and voluntary associations. It sheds light on the organizational workings of the Rhenish Center and its model character for Center organization in other regions and on a national level.

At the heart of this study is a discussion of the Center's vigorous courtship of workers' support, their responses to the Socialist challenge and the attempts of Rhenish party leaders to construct a web of political and social organizations that bridged the conflicting interests of a diverse Catholic population."--BOOK JACKET.
