Toward A New Catholic Church

Elaborating on A Call for Vatican III in his bestselling book Constantines Sword: The Church and the Jews, James Carroll proposes a clear agenda for reform in Toward A New Catholic Church to help concerned Catholics understand the most essential issues facing their Church. He moves beyond current events to suggest new ways for Catholics to approach Scripture, Jesus, and power, and he looks at the daunting challenges facing the Church in a world of diverse beliefs and contentious religious fervor. His case for democracy within the Church illustrates why lay people have already initiated change. Carroll shows that all Catholicsparishioners, priests, bishops, men and womenhave an equal stake in the Church's future.
