Fortunately, where today so many see only darkness, author Brandon McGinley sees light, arguing that these dire days offer us an opportunity to rescue our Church — if only we have the holy confidence to seize this God-given moment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike many who have responded to these crises, McGinley does not propose that we return to an unrealistically romanticized Catholic past. With painstaking clarity, he unearths what was working — and what wasn’t — in the decades before Vatican II, and he shows how genuine Catholic renewal can only emerge from fidelity to our Catholic identity and tradition, applied to the contemporary world. We have everything we need — we have Christ! — but we need the confidence to bring His grace and truth to the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere is our roadmap for renewal — a roadmap for families, for schools, for parishes, and, indeed, for the institutional Church. In this crisis, we can complain and despair, or we can seize the opportunity to demonstrate that the Catholic Church is the means to bringing the grace and peace of heaven to earth.","published_at":"2020-08-07T14:40:38","created_at":"2020-08-07T14:40:38","vendor":"Sophia Institute Press","type":"BOOK","tags":["Books","Subject_Current Events and Issues","Type_Books"],"price":1495,"price_min":1495,"price_max":1495,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":true,"all_variant_ids":[31980834259011],"variants":[{"id":31980834259011,"product_id":4529318592579,"product_handle":"the-prodigal-church","title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"862-0011","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"image_id":null,"available":false,"name":"THE PRODIGAL CHURCH - Default Title","options":["Default Title"],"price":1495,"weight":290,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":0,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"deny","inventory_in_cart":0,"inventory_remaining":0,"incoming":false,"next_incoming_date":null,"taxable":true,"barcode":""}],"available":false,"images":["\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/862-0011.jpg?v=1597073514"],"featured_image":"\/\/marytown-press-gift-store.myshopify.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/862-0011.jpg?v=1597073514","options":["Title"],"url":"\/products\/the-prodigal-church"}
