One
of
the
world’s
foremost
religion
journalists
offers
an
unexpected
and
provocative
look
at
where
the
Catholic
Church
is
headed*—and
what
the
changes
will
mean
for
all
of
us.*What
will
the
Catholic
Church
be
like
in
100
years?
Will
there
be
a
woman
pope?
Will
dioceses
throughout
the
United
States
and
the
rest
of
the
world
go
bankrupt
from
years
of
scandal?
In
THE
FUTURE
CHURCH,
John
L.
Allen
puts
forth
the
ten
trends
he
believes
will
transform
the
Church
into
the
twenty-second
century.
From
the
influence
of
Catholics
in
Africa,
Asia,
and
Latin
America
on
doctrine
and
practices
to
the
impact
of
multinational
organizations
on
local
and
ethical
standards,
Allen
delves
into
the
impact
of
globalization
on
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
and
argues
that
it
must
rethink
fundamental
issues,
policies,
and
ways
of
doing
business.
Allen
shows
that
over
the
next
century,
the
Church
will
have
to
respond
to
changes
within
the
institution
itself
and
in
the
world
as
a
whole
whether
it
is
contending
with
biotechnical
advances—including
cloning
and
genetic
enhancement—the
aging
Catholic
population,
or
expanding
the
roles
of
the
laity.Like
Thomas
Friedman’s
The
World
Is
Flat,
THE
FUTURE
CHURCH
establishes
a
new
framework
for
meeting
the
challenges
of
a
changing world.
