Inculturation in Asia: the continuation and conflict in the Roman Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council

Throughout this thesis, I would like to discuss how the concept of inculturation is applied in the Catholic Church, especially focusing on the situation in Asia after the Second Vatican Council. The main perspectives I choose to compare and contrast are those of John Paul II in his official documents, especially his Apostolic Exhortation Ecclesia in Asia, and those of Asian bishops, especially statements in Federation of Asian Bishops Conferences (FABC). I would like to demonstrate how inculturation become s both a possibility and a problem to the Catholic Church and how the theologians give their critiques that the Catholic Church must face.
