Signs of hope in an increasingly non-religious culture

Description

Catholics can’t retreat from the world, Kees de Groot  tells Susan Gately. The Church should not be focussed on ‘maintenance’ as an organisation, but members should try to fulfil their vocations as human beings in the world, believing the “future is in God’s hands and we are not required to save the Church”, according to a Dutch Catholic author and theologian.

Dr Kees de Groot wrote The Liquidation of the Church, which was the focus of a talk he gave at St Patrick’s College, Maynooth.
