Topics covered include Catholicism and post-secularism; digital Catholicism; Catholic practice in the context of modernity; global Catholicism in a multi-faith world; Catholicism and world politics; the tensions between Catholic thought and social action; the Church’s relations with major faiths such as Judaism and Islam; and religion and social change driven by modernity.
