Observations: Social science research can replace no-longer-effective answers to no-longer existing problems
The Catholic Church in Asia operates in ignorance. We don’t really know ourselves or the world in which we are called to proclaim the Good News. There is a realm of research to which we must turn, the social sciences. They can tell us not only about the world outside the Church, but about ourselves as well. Professional research in sociology and psychology would enable us to escape the trap of no-longer-effective answers to no-longer-existing problems. Father William Grimm, who lives in Japan, shares some thoughts on this.
