All the Christian Churches claim to be founded in the power of the Holy Spirit as the chief mediator of wisdom from on high. It looks like it might be the Great Spirit who is shaking the tired foundations of the Catholic Church and inaugurating a novel Catholic identity, which is as global and complex as the Spirit who blows where it wills. While Catholic leadership expends a great deal of time and energy regressing to the Roman inheritance (Latin language, etc.) the people's Church is diversifying into a new cultural entity in the Southern hemisphere, immersed in the hopes and dreams of a largely youthful population.
