Is Catholicism fit for purpose?
Update: 2024-01-07
Description
More than a decade of abuse scandals have rocked the Catholic Church, and shifting social values have alienated its flock.
In the west, Catholicism is in decline. Just 17.5-percent of Americans identify as Catholic. In Australia young people are abandoning the church.
So why are people seemingly losing faith? Is it all bad news, or does the church have a future? And might a reforming Pope Francis turn the ship around?
In this episode of The Discussion I talk with Paul Collins. He is a former priest, broadcaster and Catholic scholar whose books include “Absolute Power - How the Pope Became the Most Influential Man in the World”.
