Brettell, 'The Struggle for the Church: Popular Anticlericalism and Religiosity in Post-Franco Spain' by Ruth Behar, 'Pilgrimage and Popular Religion at a Greek Holy Shrine' by Jill Dubisch, 'Breton Folklore of Anticlericalism' by Ellen Badone, 'Stories of Power, Powerful Stories: The Drunken Priest in Donegal' by Lawrence J.
