"One of the world's foremost religion journalists offers an
unexpected and provocative look at where the Catholic Church is
headed""--and what the changes will mean for all of us."
What will the Catholic Church be like in 100 years? Will there be a
woman pope? Will dioceses throughout the United States and the rest
of the world go bankrupt from years of scandal? In THE FUTURE
CHURCH, John L. Allen puts forth the ten trends he believes will
transform the Church into the twenty-second century. From the
influence of Catholics in Africa, Asia, and Latin America on
doctrine and practices to the impact of multinational organizations
on local and ethical standards, Allen delves into the impact of
globalization on the Roman Catholic Church and argues that it must
rethink fundamental issues, policies, and ways of doing business.
Allen shows that over the next century, the Church will have to
respond to changes within the institution itself and in the world
as a whole whether it is contending with biotechnical
advances--including cloning and genetic enhancement--the aging
Catholic population, or expanding the roles of the laity.
Like Thomas Friedman's "The World Is Flat," THE FUTURE CHURCH
establishes a new framework for meeting the challenges of a
changing world.
