Abstract

Studies on popular religiosity have a promising future, although usually challenged by conceptual and methodological barriers. This article discusses moralist, materialistic, and historical conditions that are responsible to a great extent for the biased, paternalistic, and Eurocentric vision that still permeates the understanding of popular religiosity in Central America.
