Global Catholicism: Profiles and Polarities (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781626983960)

Global Catholicism critically examines and analyzes the emerging patterns and trends surrounding Pope Francis's controversial call for a "synodal" church, for Catholics to be missionary disciples, and for a Church that goes to the peripheries. By surveying Catholic churches around the world, the author anticipates an emerging Church that is more polycentric than European, one that is less privileged and has a more inclusive governance with an expanded ministry, and one that emphasizes dialogue with other cultures and religions.
