RC Church "200 years behind" the times
September 1, 2012 at 11:22 am
In an article that has just been posted on the BBC News page, Cardinal Carlo Martini says Church '200 years behind'.

Quote:Italian Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini has described the Roman Catholic Church as being "200 years behind" the times.

The cardinal died on Friday, aged 85.

Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera has published his last interview, recorded in August, in which Cardinal Martini says: "The Church is tired... our prayer rooms are empty."

Martini, once tipped as a future pope, urged the Church to recognise its errors and to embark on a radical path of change, beginning with the Pope.
