Abstract
The following doctoral thesis explores the Catholic Church’s New Evangelization movement relating to the rise of the western-secular (American) paradigm. In an attempt to infuse this evangelistic movement with an undercurrent of rupture, it pulls from modern continental philosophy to faithfully engage the secular age with innovation and holiness. The thesis counters various perspectives on what constitutes the New Evangelization today, arguing instead that a new evangelization cannot occur without elements of rupture and subversion toward specific ideologies of secularism.
