The world-wide Church already has the majority of its members living in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore the Church of the new century will be a Third World Church, which means a Church of the poor and non-powerful, non-clericalist, de-centralised, expressing itself in less legislation and organisation.

I find myself meeting three different groups of adult Catholics. Their distinction lies in their age. There are “the Young” (late teens to mid-thirties), "the Elderly" (60 plus) and "the Middle-aged" in between. Each has a different way of regarding the Church and consequently has a different way of relating to it. (What follows is, of course, a generalisation.) How do these different groups regard the Church?

'Post-Modernism' is the label given to the philosophy, or manner of living, of our times. Much has been written about this phenomenon, but put succinctly it is saying that people today feel free to question everything, even the most fundamental basis of society and the most traditional beliefs.

Prior to the sixties the Catholic Church was very different to the Church we know today. Attendance at worship especially the Mass would be unrecognisable to the majority of people today.
