JOHN ALLEN DISCUSSES THE HOT TOPICS IN THE COMING CONCLAVE
including collegiality, inculturation, and an evangelical style of relating to secularism.
Quoting a North American Cardinal he writes:
“I look at the church in northern Europe, and it seems like a mess,” he said. “Aside from pockets of life, especially among the young, it doesn’t look like we’ve succeeded in getting through to secularized culture. We’ve got to find someone who can dialogue with secularity, because in fits and starts it’s becoming the culture of the world.”
That's calling the spade, I guess.
