Catholic Reformation

Subtract the Hegelianism, and Nicholas Boyle ( Who Are We Now?: Christian Humanism and the Global Market from Hegel to Heaney ) gives a profound insight into recent church history: “The theology of the spirit, which Hegel rightly saw as the distinctive new impetus which the Reformation gave to human development, the radical following-through of the believe that God speaks in and through us, has more work to do in the Catholic Church than further the charismatic revival. The work of Protestantization – that is the work of Reformation without schism – begun by the Council of Trent and continued by the Second Vatian Council, is not remotely complete yet.”
