A bit late, but I came across this video recently. Back in July, Bishop Jan Liesen was a guest on EWTN Live with Fr. Mitch Pacwa. He spoke about the challenges of the evangelisation, especially in a post-Christian society like the Netherlands.
The interview starts at about 3:30 into the video.
Bishop Liesen speaks about the impulse that the Second Vatican Council gave to the renewed evangelisation fifty years ago, and which should have started then. He speaks so from his theological background and extensive knowledge of the history of the Council.
Worth a look, certainly to remind us of what the Council really gave us.
Thank you. Interesting discusion.
Very polarized/polarizing interpretation of the last 50 years of the Church in the NL. it would be interesting to hear other interpretations too…. for example someone recalling that that bishop who reopened the seminary was afterwards sent to Reykjavik because of the great job he did …
“sent to Reykjavik”?
The internal meanderings of the espiscopate are more intering than I thought.
I suppose a 45 minute interview has it’s limits!
