The end of irish catholicism?  -  Twomey, Vincent

KORTE INHOUD

Argues that only a comprehensive cultural and intellectual renewal will enable the contemporary Church to rise effectively to the challenges posed by modern Ireland. This renewal will involve a new self-consciousness rooted in faith and drawing inspiration from our rich Irish tradition, and will call for new ecclesiastical structures to fit a much changd world. The topics discussed include: Irish Catholic identity, its nature and cultural expression; an exploration of how the modern Irish Church can recover her public, secular and divine 'voices'; an examination of possible new Church structures; a new approach to the relationship between church and state; the so-called crisis of vocations--in reality a crisis of faith--and the standing of theology in the Irish Church. -- Book cover.
