Beyond My Parish
Individual Catholics can be very parochial. For many, their idea of the Catholic Church is their parish or the school they attended. With such a small idea of the Church, it’s no wonder so many feel like they “outgrow” the Church as they become adults. In this Catholic Update, author Richard Thompson shares some examples of how the Catholic church goes beyond the parish boundaries to become involved in universal topics such as science, medicine, the environment, artificial intelligence, space, and world peace.
