• Description:

  Topic One – Kresta Comments

  Topic Two – The Theology of the Laity

  When many people think of the Catholic Church, they think of the Pope, Bishops and priests. But 99% of the Catholic Church is the laity. Has the Church become more open to the Laity since the Second Vatican Council? What “new” way of treating the Laity opened with the Council? How did the Council explain the stance of Laity in the Church? What did John Paul II contribute to the understanding of the Laity? What is Pope Benedict saying to the Laity? Fr. Bevil Bramwell is here to discuss the theology of the laity.
