| Abstract | Discussing Philip Jenkins? thesis in The Next Christendom (2004), the a. argues that European Catholicism copes with two relevant challenges: on one hand the emergence of a new kind of Christianity all over the world inside and outside the Catholic Church and, on the other, the mass conversion in Asia, Africa and Latin America to new type of spirituality: the Pentecostal and Charismatic one. In any case the Old Religious Continent faces the insurgence of a variety of the Ethno-Christianities in the Ocean of the other Continents: it means the increasing tension with the historical European Churches that over the centuries evangelized the world. The paradox actually affects Europe: the new African, Asian and Latin American churches, transplanted in Europe, could act as the socio-religious movements creating a new kind of religious pluralism not completely controlled and patrolled by the historical churches, both Protestant and Catholic. |
