Weigel’s new offering contends that the Church is on the threshold of a bold new era in its 2,000- year history. The era defined by the 16thcentury Counter-Reformation is on its way out, and a new evangelical era is on the rise.

This Gospel-centered brand of faith, Weigel says, will send Catholics into mission territory every day — a territory defined by spiritual boredom and aggressive secularism. Thus 21st century Catholicism will be a culture-forming counterculture, offering people of good will a deeply humane alternative to our soul-stifling culture.
