| Summary: | Not enough attention has been paid to the impact of Catholic North American and European missionary work on the contemporary state of Christianity in Latin America.

This article makes an initial exploration into these processes, examining especially how Latin-American Catholicism is experiencing a change in three areas: a self-critical redefinition of the meaning of being a Christian, a fresh understanding of the Christian message in which the Bible plays a vital role, and a change of pastoral methodologies more relevant to the situation of the continent. |
