The Catholic Church in America has largely lost its distinctive
\nflavor and with it, its ability either to retain the faithful or to
\nevangelize the infidel. The problem precedes Vatican II: in the
\nTridentine 1950s, many Catholics, eager for mainstream
\nrespectability, had already adopted a bourgeois spirituality.<\/p>\n
In his first book, The Prodigal Church: Restoring Catholic
\nTradition in an Age of Deception, Brandon McGinley calls for
\nCatholics to return to the essence of the faith, rather than to a
\nprevious era of Catholic “success”, and so find creative ways to
\nrestore a robust and evangelical Catholic culture in the unknown
\nyears to come.\u00a0<\/p>\n
