Summary The curtain is rising on the Evangelical Catholicism of the third millennium. The Gospel-centered Evangelical Catholicism of the future will send all the people of the Church into mission territory every day, and Weigel proposes a deepening of faith-based and mission-driven Catholic reform that touches every facet of Catholic life. Mediocrity is not an option, and all Catholics, no matter what their station in life, are called to live the evangelical vocation into which they were baptized: without compromise, but with the joy, courage, and confidence that comes from living this side of the Resurrection.
