Summary of Cardinal Christoph Pierre's Interview in America Magazine
Cardinal Christoph Pierre, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, gave an interview in America magazine discussing the need for the Church to adapt to the changing world and provide new opportunities for personal encounters with Christ. He mentioned the difficulties of readjusting pastoral approaches in a Church that has worked beautifully for many years but is seeing declining attendance. However, some of his comments about American Catholics remaining within the Church and lacking evangelistic dynamism have drawn criticism and do not align with the experiences of American Catholics who are often comfortable discussing and sharing their faith.
