Seven Secular Challenges Facing 21st Century Catholics

Lack of respect for authority. Uncritical openness. Cynicism. Ideology. Learned Helplessness. Anti-intellectualism. Political Correctness. These are the seven secular challenges that executive director of Boys Town and pastoral minister of over twenty years, Rev. Val J. Peter, asserts that all persons of the Christian faith are faced with in today's postmodern age. The difficulties affect how we reconcile these ideas and continue to live out an authentic Christian faith. Written in his forthright style, Peter provides various examples and offers specific suggestions and practical advice to those living in the 21st century who desire to maintain their spiritual walks.
