Parish Sociability and Socialization. A French-German Comparison

It is common knowledge that parochial civilization has been in decline since the 1960s. This article proposes a thorough contemporary investigation into parish sociability & socialization based on a Franco-German comparison. After highlighting & defining the different types of sociability shared by both parishes -- one located in the diocese of Laval, the other in the diocese of Augsburg -- this study will examine the ways in which 1 parochial socialization differs in the two communities.
