2050: Prospects for the Church

In 2050: Prospects for the Church, Robert Cardinal Sarah looks ahead to the coming decades and shares his hopes and realistic expectations for the Catholic Church, with special attention to his home continent of Africa and to the pontificate of Pope Leo XIV.

With his characteristic depth and directness, Cardinal Sarah reflects on the liturgy, missionary work, religious vocations, tradition, the family, the papacy, and the challenge of modern unbelief. Again and again he returns to one answer: the path forward is not economic progress or clever strategy, but loving, radical fidelity to Christ.

A hopeful and prayerful book from one of the most respected spiritual voices in the Church today.
