The article analyses Catholics’ the role and contribution in the making of the Italian water movement, in terms of defining the contents, the identity and the practices of the mobilisation, by revisiting Edward Thompson’s notion of moral economy. The thesis of the article is twofold. On one side the Italian water movement frame of “water as human right and commons” resonates Catholic Social Doctrine, facilitating the mobilisation of Catholic groups and contributing to highlight the moral and symbolic aspects of the contention. On the other side, Catholics’ presence in the mobilisation has been mimetic and little influenced the movement’s identity and repertoires of contention.</span><br />Emanuele FantiniCoordinamento SIBAarticlecatholicismitalian politicsmoral economysocial movementswaterPolitical science (General)JA1-92ENPartecipazione e Conflitto, Vol 7, Iss 1, Pp 35-57 (2014)
