Global Catholicism critically examines and analyzes the emerging patterns and trends surrounding Pope Francis’s controversial call for a synodal church, for Catholics to be missionary disciples, and for a Church that goes to the peripheries. By surveying Catholic churches around the world, the author anticipates a Church that is polycentric rather than European, and one that is less privileged, with a more inclusive governance, an expanded ministry, a Church emphasizing dialogue with culture and other religions, and a new, more inclusive ecumenism.
