CHRISTIANITY TO COME

Abstract

Thinking about the future requires examining the present and the unfolding movements that foretell the shape of the future. By presenting a few French-speaking authors, in their attempt to discern the issues experienced by the Church since the Second Vatican Council, the article highlights the importance of meeting and listening to the “other”. Many authors criticize the official Church that listened litt le and demanded much. The contemporary crisis of Christianity can be understood as a crisis of human relations in society and in the Church. This is how authors like François Roustang, Georges Morel, Maurice Bellet, Stanislas Breton, and a few others see it.
