This volume explores the historical, theological, sociological, and ethical dimensions of the current issues threatening the two thousand-year-old Roman Catholic Church. The interdisciplinary analysis contained within the volume exposes the destructive convictions and actions of the Roman Catholic clergy that has produced the current institutional crisis while suggesting options for moving forward. Documenting the cases that constitute the many crises currently surrounding Catholicism, the volume aims to provide clarity and conscience. At the same time, with a constructive vision of an ethics and religious practice rooted in integrity and transparency, the authors offer a path towards holistic and holy reformation by and for Catholics.

This 257-page book provides an impressive analysis of the Roman Catholic Church today. It is substantial, wide-ranging, rich in compelling insights. Twelve authors, each competent in her/his own right, offer facts and conclusions. . . .I recommend this book to every person who values Jesus’ dream of establishing a ‘kingdom of love’ and a community of faith in which all are brothers and sisters inspired by his vision.
