Catholicism by Gerald O'collins Sj

Catholicism by Gerald O'collins Sj

What are the origins of the Catholic Church? How has Catholicism changed and adapted over the centuries? What challenges does the Catholic Church face in the twenty-first century? Gerald O'Collins answers these and other questions, and in this new edition considers the impact of Pope Francis' leadership of the Church since 2013.

This is an excellent little book which reveals the heart of Catholicism, written by a theologian steeped in the vision of Vatican II and Pope FrancisIt would be important reading not only by those who do not profess this faith but also by all those who do. * Jean Vanier, Founder of L'Arche *
