The Courage To Be Catholic: Crisis, Reform And The Future Of The Church Paperback - 2004

by Weigel, George

  • Used

When sexual scandals rocked the American Catholic Church, many observers called on the church to abandon its tenets on the vocation of the priesthood and sexuality outside marriage. Acclaimed theologian and bestselling author George Weigel saw the scandals as a crisis of fidelity to the true essence of Catholicism. More than just a response to recent failures, "The Courage to Be Catholic" is his bracing, forward-looking call to action, and a passionate embrace of life lived in faith.Perseus Books
