Leaving Christendom for Good argues that the solution to some of
the most troubling tensions in the life of the Catholic Church
since Vatican II can be found in the council's document Gaudium et
spes. This text's view of the church's mission and social
relationships as dialogical has the capacity to liberate. Part One
studies the contemporary place of religion-with particular
reference to Charles Taylor's groundbreaking work, A Secular
Age-and examines Gaudium et spes's dialogical view of the
church-world relationship. Part Two explores what true dialogue
entails and how it is best understood theologically, engaging
critically with Joseph Ratzinger's view of the church-world
relationship. The book's final chapter considers two practical
implications of its argument: how evangelization can be best
understood today, and how the church can best approach issues in
the public sphere.
