At the National Conference for Catechetical Leadership (NCCL) in Houston this week, I was blown away by the presentation by John Allen, NCR’s Senior Vatican Correspondent and CNN’s Senior Vatican Analyst, who spoke about what he calls the Mega-Trends in Catholicism: The Forces Turning the Catholic Church UpsideDown.
What I like about Mr. Allen’s presentation (aside from being very engaging) is that he sees his job as informing…he informs all of us of what is happening inside Rome and in the Church around the world. He’s not pushing an agenda but rather, is telling us to recognize the signs of the times.
Take a look for yourself at the mega-trends that he identifies:
Also, be sure to check out his weekly online column, All Things Catholic. Very informative. He tells it like it is and is very reliable and objective…he is widely trusted and respected by Catholics at both ends of the spectrum (liberal and conservative).
