泰勒《世俗的時代》給世俗性做了一種新的解釋外，更重要的莫過於他重新思考了宗教如何在世俗社會中保持一種反思世俗化的動力，眼看宗教在世俗社會中的節節敗退，這個問題更是迫在眉睫，尤其對於泰勒自身的天主教傳統或背景而言，他的思考無疑地成就了一種新的角度看老的問題，提出「大公現代性」，並且也給了天主教一個考驗，考驗著它究竟如何在越來越複雜的世俗化社會中保持生存的力量。本文嘗試借此問題的探討，進而反省中國（臺灣）天主教本地化的困境並思索典範轉移的可能性，從本地化到世俗化。

In one of his masterpieces A Secular Age, Charles Taylor has not only redefined the concept of secularization from a whole new perspective but also presented his crucial reflection on the persistent dynamics of religious criticism in a secular world. In a world where the role of Religion is gradually losing ground, the urgency of a critical reflection on the stated subject matter is no doubt warranted, especially to those who bear the Catholic traditions and background such as Taylor. The reflection and the proposition of a Catholic modernity that Taylor has put forward serve two purposes: to shade new light on an old issue, and to put the Catholic faith into a test of resilience. In other words, Taylor would like to find out how the Catholic faith would bear itself and survive in a more and more complex and secularized world. This paper discusses about the stated religious concern. It is within the framework of the stated concern that the dilemma of Catholic's localization in China (Taiwan) is further discussed, and the possibility of a paradigm shift between localization and secularization is carefully thought through.
