About this audiobook

Faith in Crisis equips Catholics to navigate today’s fiercest ecclesial debates. With a foreword by philosopher-statesman Rocco Buttiglione, the volume unfolds in three sections: Traditionalism—exposes the roots of fundamentalist rigor, private-revelation subcultures, and reactionary dissent. Church Authority—outlines papal primacy, collegiality, and the distinction between ordinary and extraordinary Magisterium—showing how trust erodes and how to rebuild it. Reform—revisits Vatican II and the postconciliar reforms, synodality, ecumenism, and interreligious dialogue, showing that legitimate change is always reform in continuity. Amid a polarized media atmosphere and doctrinal fog, these essays offer the clarity and pastoral realism Catholics need to remain anchored in a Faith ever ancient, ever new.
