In his last interview, the late Italian Cardinal and former
Archbishop of Milan, Carlo Maria Martini, said the need for deep
reform in the Catholic Church was urgent and long overdue because
'the Church is 200 years behind the times'. The reference to 200
years clearly points to the watershed in European life that the
French Revolution and the Enlightenment became. Vatican II was one
attempt to meet the challenge of relevance to our times. But its
best efforts have been on ice since the late 1970s. Now a new
opportunity arrives in the pontificate of Jorge Mario Bergoglio.
And the movement he has initiated is evangelical in source and
comprehensive in reach. But, as many observers have pointed out, it
will not be lasting if it does not lead to sustainable structural
change-to reform that accompanies renewal. In Tomorrow's Church
Today, five highly qualified commentators focus on what lies ahead
for the Church to be reformed if it is to meet the challenges of
the 21st Century:* A theologian and historian (Massimo Faggioli)
who targets how ministry and leadership can be reshaped
authentically for our times* A reporter and analyst with 30 years
experience of moves and machinations in the Etenrnal City (Robert
Mickens)* A bishop with a lifetime of experience of ministering to
the divorced and remarried and the benefit of legal and biblical
scholarship to support his edited by Michael Kelly SJ approach
(Geoffrey Robinson)* A biblical scholar who examines much of what's
taken for granted in the governance of the Church and exposes where
it is left wanting (Antony Campbell)* and A bishop whose forced
'resignation' exposes the deficiencies of a system of governance
devoid of basics-due process and respect for natural rights. But
the Catholic Church is not its clerics, scholars and commentators.
It is the baptised. Geraldine Doogue is a celebrated Australian
broadcaster and commentator whose Introduction speaks for and from
the experience of the mass of Catholics.
