Evangelical Catholicisim

eagerness to pitch orthodox Catholicism as the most satisfying entrée on the post-modern spiritual smorgasbord, using the tools and tactics of a media-saturated global village, makes Evangelical Catholicism both traditional and contemporary all at once.

Credo's Spiritual Advisor Fr. Brian Harrison proposed this article (from the National Catholic Reporter, of all places)  to Credo members for reading, apropos Credo's mission to participate in the New Evangelization. In the article, writer John Allen Jr. reflects on the meaning of World Youth Day, noting that there have now been 26 of them. The hallmark of Allen's Evangelical Catholicism is what he calls "Affirmative Orthodoxy" which he's been talking about for at least a couple of years. Affirmative Orthodoxy consists in affirming what the Church affirms and letting her condemnations speak from a kind of silent contrast. As ever, we encourage your comments here on the Credo website.
