Ein furchterlicher Verrat?: Katholischsein und die Abschaffung der staatlichen Konfessionsschulen in Rheinland-Pfalz (1963-1973) in Bloomington, MN

The book scrutinizes the transformation of Catholicism in the Federal Republic of Germany and asks about its contributions to postmodern society. The gradual abolition of state parochial schools between 1963 and 1973 serves as a burning glass. It becomes impressively clear that common interpretations of the "pull of secularization or the "church in headwind" quickly come to nothing.
