Dio vive in Olanda

by Eijk Willem Jacobus, Eijk Willem Jacobus, Eijk Willem Jacobus
Dio vive in Olanda

The book is an insight into the life and personality of Cardinal Wim Eijk, Archbishop of Utrecht, one of the most beautiful and little-known figures in the College of Cardinals. The Netherlands is one of the most de-Christianised countries in Europe and the West, where the once glorious Catholic Church, which had become the standard-bearer for adaptation to the world, has experiencedan impressive decline since the 1960s. Few people know, however, that the Catholicism that is being rebornfrom that rubble is of a completely different sign from the recent past. And it is also the bearer of a message for situations such as ours, which are just a little further back on the sloping plane of secularisation.
