The Emerging Catholic Church

A leading journalist assesses the state of the Catholic church today and the shape of the future to come. In his long career as a religion writer and editor Tom Robert has been engaged on a particular search to understand the emerging Catholic community a search bracketed on one end by Vatican II and ton he other by the yet unknown. In this work he presents the fruit of his observations: a picture of a church that is still grappling with the meaning of the Second Vatican Council; responding to dramatic demographic shifts affecting both the church and wider culture; absorbing the implications of the new cosmology with its impact on traditional belief systems; accounting for the emerging leadership of women in the church and the wider culture, and its impact on an evolving concept of God; and reeling over the sex abuse scandal, and what it has revealed about the growing inadequacy of the hierarchical culture.
