From a Church that once enjoyed devotional loyalty, political
influence, and institutional power unrivaled in Europe, the
Catholic Church in Ireland now faces collapse. Devastated by a
series of reports on clerical sexual abuse, challenged publicly
during several political battles, and painfully aware of plunging
Mass attendance, the Irish Church today is confronted with the loss
of its institutional legitimacy. This study is the first
international and interdisciplinary attempt to consider the scope
of the problem, analyze issues that are crucial to the Irish
context, and identify signs of both resilience and renewal. In
addition to an overview of the current status and future directions
of Irish Catholicism, The Catholic Church in Ireland Today examines
specific issues such as growing secularism, the changing image of
Irish bishops, generational divides, Catholic migrants to Ireland,
the abuse crisis and responses in Ireland and the United States,
Irish missionaries, the political role of Irish priests, the 2012
Dublin Eucharistic Congress, and contemplative strands in Irish
identity. This book identifies the key issues that students of
Irish society and others interested in Catholic culture must
examine in order to understand the changing roles of religion in
the contemporary world.
