Review of Evangelical Catholicism: Deep Reform in the 21st-Century Church. By George Weigel

• George Weigel’s book Evangelical Catholicism, outlining the way forward for the Church in the 21st century, hit the shelves at a very appropriate time, when quite unexpectedly Benedict XVI resigned in the middle of the Year of Faith. In one sense, it can be read as a recipe book for reform written for episcopal bedside tables. Still, advice on how to act must, if credible, rest on an accurate analysis of the present condition and its historical genesis. Different understandings of how things Catholic stand and what the strengths and flaws of modern societies and cultures are, inevitably lead to different reform programs.
