Witness: The future Catholic Church in Australia (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781923224582)

In 'Witness', Philippa Martyr asks - and answers - a lot of painful questions about the Catholic Church's future in Australia.

The Church in Australia is a mighty spiritual force that flows like a river, transforming lives and saving souls. But it's also in real crisis.

Barely 400,000 people in Australia now go to Sunday Mass - less than the population of Tasmania. At the same time, billions of dollars pour annually through Catholic schools, hospitals, and charities.

Many young Australian Catholics now feel like unwanted strangers in their own Church. And yet soon, they will inherit what's left of it.

Enriched by data sets, interviews, and commentary from across the Church, 'Witness' is both a sharp analysis of the real problems and a blueprint for younger Catholics to rebuild a future Church in Australia.
