What does it mean to think about Catholicism as global? How does the global take shape? This session will create a conversation about these questions through four case studies. Thinking about film, popular devotions, social media, and cartography, our presenters crack open the idea of the Catholic global through analysis of processes of its modern and contemporary mediation.
