You know we evangelical prots (I am a member of the clergy in said group)have been praying for years for the next great awakening. In fact we proudly trace our lineage from the awakenings under Jonathan Edwards, Whitfield and Wesley, Finney, and Moody. How cool would it be if our sovereign God decided to start the next great awakening in the Catholic church.

No mention of the fact that revival/renewal only follows after repentance? Not being a Catholic (and therefore apparently not saved or united in sacred doctrine), perhaps I don't understand how simply returning to traditional works leads to anything but external reconstruction.

I pray that we do experience another Great Awakening. As an Orthodox Catholic, I hope that my Church experiences it, for the Catholic Church in America has lost its way, and is again in need of direction. My Church needs leaders to help pull it back on the right track. God Bless

I would not be surprised by a Great Awakening in all the Churches. We are about due in the Catholic Church. The Pope has spoken about a Second Spring in the new millennium, and I think he is right. There is something like the stirrings of an awakening among Evangelicals already, I think. And I have long hoped for an awakening in the black churches, where there is undoubted faith but where the people have been led astray by politicized ministers. Nothing short of such an awakening can pull America out of the cultural decay in which we have been sinking since the 1960s.

The Church may not move fast but when it does, the world notices.
