Beschreibungen
<span><span>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, </span><span>The Catholic Church in Ireland Today</span><span> 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.</span></span>
<span><span>Through international and interdisciplinary perspectives, </span><span>The Catholic Church in Ireland Today</span><span> considers the problems facing the contemporary Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. This book offers a thorough analysis of the Church’s present condition and indicates directions the Church could take to begin addressing the multiple challenges it faces.</span></span>
