Renewal: How a New Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops

Renewal: How a New Generation of Faithful Priests and Bishops Is Revitalizing the Catholic Church

In the wake of the clergy abuse scandal of the last decade, many media commentators predicted the Â“endâ€ of the Catholic priesthood. Demands for an end to celibacy, coupled with calls for womenâ€™s ordination, dominated discussions on the effectiveness of the Catholic Church in America. Renewal argues that rather than a decline of the priesthood and a diminishing influence of the Catholic Church, we are living in a time of transformation and revitalization. The aging generation of progressives that continues to lobby Church leaders to change Catholic teachings on reproductive rights, same-sex marriage and women's ordination is being replaced by younger men and women who are attracted to the Church because of the very timelessness of its teachings.
