Allen Jr. (Author)4.2 out of 5 stars 55 ratingsOne 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?Editorial ReviewsFrom BooklistThere hasn’t been much revolutionizing in the Catholic Church since Vatican II. In fact, recent years have witnessed a semi-resurgence of conservative movements both within and outside the confines of the church hierarchy. Veteran Vatican analyst and journalist Allen, however, outlines a set of trends he believes will truly transform the church as we know it. Individual chapters that are devoted to examining these trends in detail include a world church, Evangelical Catholicism, Islam, the new demography, expanding lay roles, the biotech revolution, globalization, ecology, multipolarism, and Pentecostalism. Separately, these trends have little impact; together, they point to the possibility of a radically different future for the Catholic Church. Allen provides reasonable food for thought in this intriguing must-read for all church watchers. --Margaret FlanaganAbout the AuthorJOHN L.
