Abstract
This is, quite simply, one of the best books that I have read on the Catholic experience in America, and I recommend it highly. Even so, I must start with a mild complaint: the author and the publisher should have cooperated a little more creatively in trying to convey just what the book is about. Judging from its title, for example, you might suspect that this book was about Mexican American Catholic participation in the institutional church, or maybe about the interaction between popular religious traditions and practices associated with the Mexican American community in Houston and the religion of the official church. Reading the introduction, you would more likely come to the conclusion that the book is more about the use of religion in the construction of identity than about religion per se (which is what Robert R. Treviño seems to say in several places). So what is the book really about? In the end, all this and more.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
