Not so long ago it would have been fair to say that the Catholic
Church and the Catholic faith determined human life and social
existence, more or less unquestioned, in Flanders and in a large
part of Western Europe. The Catholic faith community in Flanders
today, however, is struggling with the fact that the transmission
of the Christian tradition has been flagging in recent years. This
has not only led to diminished faith engagement and a massive
decline in church attendance, it has also had its effects in the
cultural domain: culture has become de-traditionalised;
'traditional' Christian culture is worn out. Even convinced
Christians are having problems reflecting on the plausibility of
their faith, precisely because of the chasm that has opened up
between faith and culture. The author of the present study argues
that every new context challenges the Christian tradition to
recontextualise its presentation of meaning and purpose in a cogent
and credible fashion. Christians today do themselves a disservice
when they withdraw into a world of absolute self-justification.
