The Church, Pilgrim of Centuries
註釋A unique commentary on the Roman Catholic Church near the end of the second millennium which looks backward and forward as the author analyzes the status of the Catholic Church in today's world. What the author sees is a Church that, having lost its historic place of spiritual and temporal power, has receded into a corner of modern pluralistic society. Deploring the erosion of the Roman Catholic Church's traditional authority, he argues that many of its leaders have accommodated the Church to contemporary secular culture in the wake of Vatican II reforms. Some have been duped by leftist philosophies of liberation; others have succumbed to pluralistic pressures, contributing to the marginalization and decline of the Church in particular and religion in general.
