| Summary: | American Catholicism at the dawn of the twenty-first century finds itself in a state of chaos. Varied ecclesiologies, especially views of Vatican II, differences in solutions to such significant problems as the lack of priests, role of the laity, and the relationship between the American Church and Rome have all contributed to this situation.

A review of the views of contemporary American Catholics writers is necessary to understand the present situation and seek answers for the future. |
