Nice comments here about Russell Shaw's "Catholic Laity in the Mission of the Church". Here is an excerpt:

He also recommends promoting a vigorous Catholic subculture without the triumphalism (we-got-it-you-don’t), intellectual vapidity or at least minimalism, and defensiveness of 30s-through-50s American Catholicism. Instead, he wants "dynamically orthodox" infrastructure "motivating Catholics" to evangelize the world.

This is good stuff: confident and unapologetic defining and embracing a position and purpose. (Did I just do that? Give three pairs in sequence? Amazing.) It’s from Shaw’s new book, Catholic Laity in the Mission of the Church (Requiem Press). Also amazing: the book is titled without catchy catchword as grabber.
