The Catholic Church has a tradition of bridge-building, one founded
on Christ and that began with the Apostle St. John and the convert
St. Paul. It helped bridge the Hebrew, Greek, and Roman worlds.
Later, it helped civilize the tribes that overran Europe. Limits
appeared in the Church's bridge-building ability when Europe was
confronted with Islam, and later with the secular mentality that
arose in Western Europe, as well as in its encounters with China,
India, and Africa. Steps Toward Vatican III examines the present
dilemmas facing the Church and humanity in an age of globalization
that daily brings people of various backgrounds into close
proximity. It offers a "middle-way" to face such issues. It
develops a global ethics and a global spirituality that can be
incarnated within alert, loving, small Christian communities, as
well as in the larger Church structures directed from the Vatican.
It builds on Vatican II to find paths that may help bring peace and
understanding in the world by a sympathetic evaluation of different
world traditions. Such sympathy must be informed by the conversions
that Jesus and the Church have demanded of their followers.
