Faith in Crisis

Critical Dialogues in Catholic Traditionalism, Church Authority, and Reform

De: Andrew Likoudis

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

Faith in Crisis equips Catholics to navigate today’s fiercest ecclesial debates. With a foreword by philosopher-statesman Rocco Buttiglione, the volume unfolds in three sections:

• Traditionalism—exposes the roots of fundamentalist rigor, private-revelation subcultures, and reactionary dissent.
• Church Authority—outlines papal primacy, collegiality, and the distinction between ordinary and extraordinary Magisterium—showing how trust erodes and how to rebuild it.
• Reform—revisits Vatican II and the postconciliar reforms, synodality, ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue, showing that legitimate change is always reform in continuity.

Amid a polarized media atmosphere and doctrinal fog, these essays offer the clarity and pastoral realism Catholics need to remain anchored in a Faith ever ancient, ever new.
