Abstract
Approximately one third of the world is Christian, and half of those are Roman Catholics. The demographics alone make writing a global history of Catholicism a mammoth task. To attempt the impossible, Professor John T. McGreevy of Notre Dame University has tackled a theme that plays itself out over multiple centuries and diverse cultural settings—the conversation, negotiation, tension, and conflict between traditionalism and modernization. Given that conservatism and progressivism shift meanings according to historical context, the implications of each position in situ are complex and surprising. Only a scholar of McGreevy's maturity and erudition could hope to succeed in such a bold enterprise.
John T. McGreevy 的导言，《天主教》：从法国大革命到教皇弗朗西斯的全球历史》（2022 年）
全世界约有三分之一的人是基督徒，其中一半是罗马天主教徒。单从人口统计来看，撰写一部全球天主教史就是一项艰巨的任务。为了完成这项不可能完成的任务，圣母大学的约翰-麦克格里维（John T. McGreevy）教授探讨了一个跨越多个世纪和不同文化背景的主题--传统主义与现代化之间的对话、协商、紧张和冲突。鉴于保守主义和进步主义的含义会随着历史背景的变化而变化，因此每种立场在当地的影响都是复杂而令人惊讶的。只有像麦克格里维这样成熟博学的学者才有希望成功完成这样一项大胆的事业。
