| Summary: | An editorial introduction to this volume of L'Annee Sociologique, the theme of which is the sociology of Catholicism.

Three main problems in this field of study are discussed: (1) the reliability of available statistical data on Catholicism; (2) the definition of the "religious field"; & (3) the vitality of the model of the Roman Catholic Church, in France & internationally.
