L'avenir du catholicisme en Europe

All believers who ask themselves about their ties with the Christian community, the Church and the memory of the Gospel can make a double observation. On the one hand, Christianity is no longer a cultural reference shared by all. On the other hand, one can note a growing gap between the practices of the ecclesial government and the aspirations of modern culture. Is it not the return to the Gospel and a radical reassessment of behaviour which could give back to Christianity its original vigour? In our countries, could not the minority status of Christianity be the opportunity for a new formulation of the Christian message and a renewal of practices?
